After more than a decade as the CEO of Diabetes Australia and, prior to that, 9 years as Chief Executive of Diabetes Victoria, Professor Greg Johnson will leave Diabetes Australia this weekend. Justine Cain will begin on Monday 22 November, as the new CEO of Diabetes Australia.
We thank Professor Johnson for his extraordinary work, his tireless efforts to improve the lives of people with diabetes, and the fruitful cooperation between Diabetes Australia and ADEA throughout the years.
Over the past two decades, Professor Johnson has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of people living with diabetes. He has worked closely with ADEA and ADS to further many of our shared policy objectives, including successfully advocating for continued Federal Government funding of the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) to ensure people with diabetes have ongoing access to information, services and subsidised diabetes products, and successfully advocating for CGM and flash monitoring subsidies.
He championed the KeepSight Program, a campaign that seeks to end preventable blindness amongst people living with diabetes, as well as working closely with ADEA in the development of the Diabetes in Schools Program. His further achievements include the amputation prevention program FootForward, the establishment of a National Gestational Diabetes Register, and successfully advocating for the development of the 2016 and 2021 National Diabetes Strategies, along with ADEA and ADS.
Professor Johnson strongly advocated for the listing of new generation diabetes medications on the PBS and facilitated regular discussions to ensure government support for diabetes research. He understood and supported the need for psychological support for people with diabetes and has been a major driver and supporter of The Australian Centre for Behavioural Research in Diabetes.
Additionally, Professor Johnson has participated in a wide range of health sector and government advisory committees and has led the establishment of a number of leading diabetes prevention initiatives.
In 2021, Professor Greg Johnson successfully led the unification process, working closely with Susan Davidson, ADEA CEO and Sof Andrikopoulos, ADS CEO to unify Diabetes Australia with ADEA and ADS as well as unifying Diabetes Australia with Diabetes NSW & ACT, Diabetes Queensland, Diabetes Tasmania.
ADEA wishes Greg Johnson all the best and looks forward to welcoming Justine Cain next week.
