Now partnered with Wounds Australia 

We’re pleased to be partnering with Wounds Australia to help raise awareness of the important connection between diabetes and wound care.

The new partnership brings together the expertise of Diabetes SA, South Australia’s peak body for diabetes, and Wounds Australia, the national peak body for the prevention, treatment and management of chronic wounds.

Together, we’ll look for opportunities to share knowledge, resources and education that can help improve understanding of wound prevention and management, particularly for people living with diabetes.

The partnership will include opportunities for knowledge sharing, reciprocal access to relevant webinars and events, and collaboration on education, research, best-practice resources and awareness campaigns.

“Diabetes and wound care go hand in hand, particularly when it comes to preventing serious complications,” Mr Antcliff said. “By working with Diabetes SA, we hope to help more people understand the importance of looking after their feet and skin, recognising the early signs of wounds and seeking appropriate care before problems become more serious.”

For people living with diabetes, looking after your feet and being aware of changes to your skin and wounds is an important part of managing your health. Through this partnership, we hope to help make trusted information and resources more accessible to our members and the wider community.

We look forward to working with Wounds Australia and sharing opportunities to learn from each other over the coming two years.
