Diabetes WA is a mid-sized health-focused organization based in Subiaco, Western Australia. Founded in 1965, it operates as a member-based body that supports people living with diabetes, those affected by the condition, or at risk of developing it through practical advice, education, and community programs. The organization runs a helpline at 1300 001 880 and offers a free monthly e-newsletter with tips on healthy living, recipes, and programs to help individuals manage their condition. Its mission centers on reducing the impact of diabetes on the Western Australian community and it pursues awareness campaigns around type 2 diabetes risk factors and prevention. In 2021 the organization entered into a collaboration with the WA Primary Health Alliance to capture the lived experiences of people with diabetes-related foot disease, in partnership with the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital Multi-Disciplinary Foot Unit, to inform future initiatives.
