Diabetes WA has a team of Health Promotion professionals who work with the community and a range of organisations to promote the prevention of type 2 diabetes, as well as other chronic diseases. This work includes a number of campaigns, programs and services that help reduce the risk factors and promote early detection for type 2 diabetes.

Our health promotion team is constantly working towards freedom from diabetes and we encourage the community to actively prevent diabetes.
