The new Australian National Diabetes Strategy seeks to prioritise Australia's response to diabetes, and to identify approaches to reduce the impact of diabetes in the community.
Developing a new Australian National Diabetes Strategy provides a valuable opportunity to evaluate current approaches to diabetes services and care; consider the role of governments at all levels, as well as other stakeholders; evaluate whether current efforts and investments align with identified needs; maximise the efficient use of existing, limited healthcare resources; and articulate a vision for preventing, detecting, and managing diabetes and for diabetes research efforts.
The Australian National Diabetes Strategy will form part of the Government’s overall strategic framework for managing chronic diseases, which recognises the shared health determinants, risk factors and multi-morbidities that exist across a broad range of chronic conditions.
We welcome the diverse perspectives, experience and knowledge of all diabetes stakeholders and interested members of the community including people with diabetes, families, carers, health care professionals, researchers, community and non-government organisations, all levels of government, industry and business.
The purpose of this consultation is to seek feedback from the community on the draft Strategic Framework for Action presented in the Consultation Paper for the development of the Australian National Diabetes Strategy and to further inform the development of the Strategy.
