Join the Diabetes WA Community Network
The Diabetes WA Community Network is more than just an association. It’s a hub for connection, collaboration and support.
Whether you’re interested in local events, sharing your skills or representing the wider diabetes community, our network is here for you.
It’s a chance to work together to provide a collective voice to share your stories and advocate for your needs.
Our network can help you:
- Build connections: Meet others living with diabetes who share your interests and passions.
- Share resources: Post about local diabetes events, offer your skills or find help when you need it.
- Support each other: Participate in initiatives that strengthen our community, from volunteering to diabetes specific projects.
If you’re interested in joining our community network or have any questions, contact Diabetes WA today to get involved.
Peer support groups
If you are living with diabetes, it is important that you have a strong support system around you. Peer support groups can be accessed through the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS).
A diabetes support group is a group of people with diabetes who regularly get together to share information, experiences, and knowledge. In most instances, the support groups are led by individuals living with diabetes rather than diabetes educators or other health professionals. Please note, being part of and receiving advice from a support group is complementary to professional care and not a replacement for it.
For more information on the aims and profiles of each support group, we encourage you to contact the support group leader and ask questions.
A full list of support groups can be found at www.peersupport.ndss.com.au or call us on 1300 001 880 to find your nearest group.
