Albanese Government delivering life changing devices for Australians with type 1 diabetes
3 July 2022 - The Albanese Government is delivering on our election commitment to give all 130,000 Australians with type 1 diabetes access to subsidised continuous glucose monitoring products under the National Diabetes Services Scheme.
Every Australian with type 1 diabetes will now get access to a potentially life saving continuous glucose monitoring device.
This is a $273.1 million investment over four years to support people living with type 1 diabetes, which includes expanded access to the Insulin Pump Program.
