Advocate for change

Creating change for the T1D community through advocacy

Our advocacy raises the voice of the community to transform how governments understand and invest in T1D.

At Breakthrough T1D, our community is at the heart of our advocacy program. There are advocates all over the country who meet with Australia’s federal representatives on all sides of politics to tell them about life with T1D, and the progress that’s possible with their support.

Events

Throughout the year, we bring the T1D community together through a range of events designed to inform, connect and inspire. Whether it’s our annual Type 1 Summit, meet-ups for families and adults living with T1D, advocacy initiatives, or research-focused forums, there are plenty of opportunities to engage and make an impact.

Wherever you are, there’s something for you.
