The mission of the Type 1 Diabetes Network is to create opportunities for Australians affected by Type 1 Diabetes to share knowledge and experiences in order to attain an optimum quality of life through:

  • building an empowered and active Type 1 diabetes community;

  • offering support and encouragement;

  • facilitating access to resources and information; and

  • advocating and raising awareness on issues of concern to people affected by Type 1 Diabetes.
