What diabetes queensland does

Diabetes Queensland is a non-profit organization delivering diabetes education, support, care coordination, prevention programs, and advocacy for people affected by diabetes in Queensland, Australia. It operates within a federated model led by national peak body Diabetes Australia, partnering with state and territory diabetes organizations across Australia to localize services that include the government-administered National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS), a national prevention helpline (1800PREVENT), telehealth consultations, school support programs, multicultural and Indigenous health resources, and community events such as DiaBuddies for children with type 1 diabetes. Core customer segments are people living with diabetes (type 1, type 2, gestational, prediabetes), at-risk populations, parents and carers, and health professionals.

The technology and product portfolio centers on a diabetes management education platform, telehealth clinic, and digital resources spanning a website hub (fact sheets, recipes, multicultural content), the You & T2 mobile app for teenagers with type 2 diabetes (built on Glide), and information tools such as the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Calculator. Distribution runs through NDSS access points at pharmacies and health services, state-based local services, the national helpline, online self-serve resources, and partnerships with government and health-system actors, including a documented co-development partnership with Sydney Local Health District (NSW Health) on the You & T2 app.

The business model is non-commercial: services are free at point of use, with NDSS registration free for diagnosed Australians and membership free. Revenue derives from Australian Government funding for NDSS administration, philanthropic donations, program-specific grants, and research funding partnerships. Across the national network, the Diabetes Australia Research Program has invested in over 500 research projects over the past 12 years (>$50M), reflecting a parallel research-funding arm that complements service delivery. There is no disclosed revenue, headcount, or financial statement for Diabetes Queensland as a standalone entity.
