The pump gives a steady background (basal) dose day and night, plus meal and correction (bolus) doses when needed. Insulin goes in through a small cannula under the skin, which is usually changed every two to three days.
In Australia, insulin pumps are mostly funded through private health insurance hospital cover, and a waiting period usually applies. The Commonwealth-funded Insulin Pump Program helps eligible children and young people under 21 living with type 1 diabetes who face financial barriers; Diabetes Australia was appointed to deliver it in August 2026. Pump consumables are subsidised through the NDSS.
Starting a pump involves structured training with a diabetes team.
Our clinicians can explain how this applies to you and help with the next step, whether that is a referral, a device, funding or a plan the rest of the team can see.
