What we can help with

Type 2 diabetes can cause serious health problems. Managing the condition can make a big difference for your health and wellbeing. 

Our Diabetes Connect program connects people living with type 2 diabetes with a care coordinator who can help decide which services can best support that individual.

Some of the services they might receive are:

Allied health such as:

• Diabetes education
• Podiatry
• Dietetics
• Physiotherapy

Community services such as:

• Welfare, legal, and housing support
• Food relief
• Social care services, including mental health, addiction, and disability support
• Social supports that build community connection

The care coordinator will work closely with your General Practitioner, who you will continue to see for clinical care.

Types of support

• In person on campus
• Telehealth
