The Diabetes Resource Centre is a not for profit charitable organisation. We are the South West’s ‘one stop’ facility for families living with Type 1 diabetes.
Our aim is to streamline an integrated network of services already available and bring other services currently only available in Melbourne, locally.
We link families to a wide referral base while also developing wellbeing programs necessary for the Type 1 individual and their families at whatever stage or age.
DRCI is focused on Type 1 diabetes and families and carers of the individual. Our aim is to provide support, understanding, education and information to our families,
to enable and to empower the family unit, so that they are able to manage living with optimum ability managing this lifelong condition and the associated complications that may arise.
The number of Victorians with diabetes has doubled since 2001. Recent figures show that 41 of Victoria’s 79 local government areas are now considered diabetes ‘hotspots’. (‘Hotspot’; area where more than 4% of its population has diabetes).
The prevalence of Type 1 in Warrnambool is 15.05% up on the National average.
Diabetes requiring insulin is 31.15% up on the national average.
