Did you hear the HUGE news about Tzield being approved by the TGA in Australia?

Sydney Yovic, CEO of Breakthrough T1D Australia, explains why this is so exciting for the future of type 1 diabetes (T1D) treatments, as well as what will come next.

Fantastic type 1 diabetes (T1D) news in Australia this morning: Tzield has been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for use in people aged 8+ years who are in stage 2 T1D!

Here’s why it’s so exciting:

🧪 Tzield (teplizumab) can delay the progression of T1D from stage 2 (before people start showing T1D symptoms) to stage 3 (when symptoms of T1D begin and people start needing insulin therapy).

☺️ On average, Tzield means an extra 2 years of life without insulin. That's an extra 2 years without the physical, emotional, financial and mental burdens of T1D.

💉 This is the first new drug approved for T1D in over 100 years, since the discovery of insulin!

🩸 People can only be found in the early stages of T1D through screening. That’s why Breakthrough T1D has been funding early detection and screening initiatives in Australia for many years and is a global leader in the field.

💰 Breakthrough T1D has funded the development of teplizumab for almost 4 decades, from the early discovery research to the landmark clinical trials that proved it could delay T1D progression.

🔓 Next up, Breakthrough T1D will be advocating for the therapy to be listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), so it can become subsidised and available for all people with stage 2 T1D who want to access it.

We'll share more about Tzield and what this means in the days to come – you can also click the link in the comments to learn more about this exciting news!

We asked our One Walkers why they walk to turn type 1 diabetes (T1D) into type none... and their answers say it all 💙

Every person in our community has their own story, their own reason, and their own hope for a world without T1D. From finding connection, to raising awareness, funding research and creating a better future for the people they love – these are the moments that make One Walk so powerful.

To every awe-inspiring person who has walked beside us this season: thank you.

Sydney-siders, you’ve got one last chance to be part of it! Join us this Sunday in Concord for the final One Walk event and help us keep walking towards a world without T1D.

What an extraordinary night for the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community last weekend 💙

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Canberra community, supporters, advocates and volunteers, the 2026 Canberra T1D Enlighten Gala raised an incredible $217,000 for Breakthrough T1D Australia.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful Gala Committee, advocate guest speakers Rocco and Jaycob for sharing their powerful lived experiences, and to our valued sponsors Sanofi, Hellenic Club of Canberra, HIVE Property and Mix 106.3 Canberra for their incredible support.

A special mention also to John Loukadellis for driving gift matching through the Macquarie Group Foundation under its not-for-profit staff support policy, helping amplify the impact of funds raised on the night.

Canberra truly showed up for families living with T1D 🙌💙
