Thank you to everyone who participated in our Diabetes Health Professionals Election Campaign. It’s our collective voice on behalf of people living with diabetes that makes the biggest impact.
Congratulations to the new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the new Government. We are looking forward to working closely with the new Health Minister and continuing our work to improve diabetes care in Australia. We have worked hard to build bi-bipartisan support for our policy initiatives, and we will be continuing that with this Parliament.
Whilst we are delighted at the commitment by the Australian Labor Party to expand CGM for people living with diabetes to be able to use the technology appropriately, Credentialled Diabetes Educators (CDEs) must be supported and renumerated, as they provide care to the thousands of people who will be initiating on diabetes technologies, equipping them to use their technology well.
We will be continuing our campaign and advocacy, holding Parliamentarians to their commitments, and reminding them of the impact of diabetes in Australia and what they can do to lessen that impact and improve the lives of Australians living with diabetes.
Our top three advocacy priorities remain:
The election is over, but our work is not, and we aren’t slowing down.
If you haven’t already sent a letter to your MP or Senator, you still can. If you have sent a letter in the lead up to the election, you can send a follow up to congratulate your new Member and Senators and remind them how important these issues are to you and to the 1.4 million people in Australia who are living with diabetes. You can find a template for your letter here.
