Rural and remote supply services

Diabetes WA support many people living in remote areas of WA, NSW, Victoria and Tasmania, ensuring they have access to essential diabetes products.

Diabetes products available through the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS)* are distributed through the pharmacy network but remoteness or cultural issues can be a barrier to access for some people living with diabetes.

The Rural and Remote Supply Service administered by Diabetes WA supports organisations and individuals who would otherwise find it difficult to access their NDSS diabetes products. Many Aboriginal Medical Services and other remote area health services currently distribute to local communities as part of their overall health care.
This allows equitable access to NDSS products at culturally safe locations.

To find out more or to register your organisation as a distribution point for your community, contact our NDSS relationship team at NDSSRelationship@diabeteswa.com.au or call 1300 001 880

*An Australian Government Initiative

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.
