Working together to improve health outcomes for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities

Last year, PDC Health Hub became the pioneering Perth Metro site for a ground breaking Flash Glucose Monitoring study aimed at transforming diabetes care for Indigenous Australians. As the first and (currently) only Perth Metro site, we're proud that our reach extends throughout the South West of WA, addressing a critical need in our community.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are almost four times more likely than non-Indigenous Australians to have diabetes or pre-diabetes. This community is five times more likely to be admitted to the hospital with complications stemming from this condition. Recognising the urgent need for innovative solutions, we have joined the national randomised controlled trial which is focused on improving health outcomes for Indigenous Australians living with Type 2 diabetes.
