Type 1 kids camp

Diabetes WA and Perth Children’s Hospital, supported by the National Diabetes Services Scheme, partner to run annual camps for children living with Diabetes during school holidays.

Diabetes camps aim to connect children who are living with diabetes with one another, increase confidence in their ability to self-manage diabetes, as well as reduce the isolation that can come with living with a chronic condition.

Children can participate in a range of outdoor activities and games during camp under the care of health professionals, learning that diabetes is not a barrier in participation.

Diabetes WA acknowledge and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work.

We pay respects and acknowledge the important role of Elders past and present, for they hold the memories of the traditions, cultures, and aspirations of Australia’s First Nations peoples, and have taken on the responsibility to protect and promote our culture and leave a legacy for future Elders and leaders. We acknowledge any Sorry Business that may be affecting individuals, families, and communities at this time. As an organisation, we understand the impact that diabetes has on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia and as such we promise to be respectful, take lead from the community and walk together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities, and organisations in our journey to reducing the impact of diabetes for the First Peoples of Australia.
