Purpose of the Type 1 Diabetes Collective

More than just a Type 1 Diabetes support group

The T1DC (Type 1 Diabetes Collective) bring their expertise, experience, knowledge and insight together to promote awareness and insight of type 1 diabetes. At Type 1 Diabetes Collective's monthly meetings, the Type 1 Diabetes Collective plan educational seminars on type 1 diabetes topics that are often not discussed during typical clinic appointments, as well as topics commonly requested by our the Type 1 Diabetes Collective members. Our educational seminars feature some of Perth’s leading healthcare professionals and presentations from diabetes advocates living phenomenal lives with T1D (Type 1 Diabetes). We advocate for changes to public policy for the benefit of people living with diabetes, trial new technology, plan Type 1 Diabetes Collective events, and debrief our type 1 diabetes management together through peer support and social events.

Our educational seminars and social events are at the core of what we do at the T1DC (Type 1 Diabetes Collective). All Type 1 Diabetes Collective's events are designed for people living with type 1 diabetes and designed by people living with type 1 diabetes. They are designed for people at any stage of their type 1 diabetes journey from newly diagnosed to a seasoned type 1 diabetes veteran. Everyone can learn something new from our events! They are not only designed for people living with diabetes, but also for support people, doctors and allied health professionals interested in the topic.
