The Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre

The Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre We help people living with type 1 diabetes in Western Australia feel confident, connected, and supported.

Type 1 Diabetes is one of the most complex self-managed conditions, requiring over 180 extra health related decisions per day. No one asks for type 1, but left unchecked, type 1 can lead to devastating consequences for individuals and their families. In 2015 the Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre was established to meet this challenge. Since opening, The Family Centre has supported countless Western Au

stralians with type 1 diabetes to live the life they choose.​

Today the Family Centre’s world-renowned approach has proven countless times that people with type 1 can live a fulfilling life, full of joy and happiness. The team at the Family Centre offer information, education, connection, clinical care, and wrap-around social support. The centre has a thriving community in Western Australia, supporting people to face the challenges of type 1 diabetes with confidence. A team of diabetes educators and dietitian's are joined by psychologists, life coaches and people with lived experience to offer holistic support. A robust program of events and activities are on offer, ensuring no one has to face the condition alone.

​The Family Centre’s ground-breaking work won the Outstanding Charity Award at the 2018 Australian Charity Awards. Its team has been recognised both nationally and internationally.

On Sunday, we brought people together in Perth, Bunbury and online for 'Choosing a Pump: The Real-World Pros and Cons'.

It was fantastic to see our watch parties full of conversations, people comparing experiences, asking questions and getting involved in the live Q&A. There’s something particularly valuable about hearing not just how diabetes technology should work, but what it’s actually like to live with day to day.

A huge thank you to Drew Harrisberg, Dr Michael Hancock and Brenda Moore for so generously sharing their knowledge, perspectives and lived experience with our community.

We’d also like to thank Hon. Michelle Boylan MLC for supporting our Bunbury watch party and for dropping in to meet some of the local Type 1 community.

This event was part of our T1D Xtra program, made possible with funding from the WA Department of Health.

And finally, thank you to everyone who joined us, whether you were sitting alongside us at a watch party or tuning in from home. We hope you came away with a few more answers, some new perspectives, and perhaps a slightly easier pump decision!
