All Diabetes WA face-to-face workshops have been postponed until further notice.

Diabetes WA workshops:

Please note that in order to minimise risk of COVID-19 exposure, Diabetes WA has suspended programs that involve face-to-face contact in the community, including DESMOND and Smarts workshops, kids camps and Let’s Prevent group programs.

We will review this decision and recommence face-to-face programs  when it is safe for the community  and our staff. If you are interested in being notified when our programs come back online, you can leave your details using the form on this page.
