Join the Diabetes WA Community Network! 

We want the Western Australia diabetes community to be a place where friendships flourish, your voice is heard and everyone works together for a brighter future.  

Welcome to our Community Network, where that vision becomes a reality! 

Diabetes WA is wanting to build a more structured way for consumers to get involved in our organisation. We want to ensure that the voices of West Australians living with diabetes are reflected in our actions. The Diabetes WA Consumer Involvement Initiative is designed to create a community that creates a strong sense of belonging, while being a powerful force for advocacy. 

We provide quality diabetes services that greatly improve outcomes and quality of life, but, to do that, we need your considered and meaningful involvement at all levels of the organisation.    

Our community network is an evolving hub designed to bring together people living with diabetes, as well as their families and carers. Anyone can join, no matter where they live in Western Australia. 

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.  

Does this sound like a community you would like to be apart of?

The process of information gathering and capturing individual experiences is crucial for creating a thriving diabetes community. By actively listening to our consumers and embracing their stories, we can foster a more inclusive, responsive and engaged diabetes community.  

Together, we can build a community that truly reflects the voices of people living with diabetes. 

Join us and be part of the change!
