With your help, we can create a world without type 1 diabetes.
Every year, we invest millions of dollars into Australian research. In 2020 alone, we invested over $13 million in T1D research in Australia. This vital research is not possible without the support of people like you, who appreciate the urgency of our mission to improve lives and cure type 1 diabetes.
It is our aim to put all contributions to work immediately, funding the most promising research until there is no more work left to do. You can help us get there. We are here until T1D isn’t.

Clinical trials can change the game – they’re a crucial step towards bringing new treatments and research breakthroughs into the lives of people who need them. These trials rely on volunteers, but researchers often struggle to find enough people to take part.
Did you know? Up to 80% of clinical trials in Australia have problems finding enough volunteers before the end of the study. Volunteering for a clinical trial can seem daunting if you haven’t done it before, or if you aren’t sure what it will involve, but it’s an experience many people find rewarding. You can read first-hand experiences of clinical trial participants.

Join the Blue ArmyAdvocate for T1D
Our advocates influence the shape of policy, help new treatments reach the community and move us closer to a world without T1D. With their voice, they make change happen. Our goal is to have a JDRF advocate in every electorate in Australia.
Become an AdvocateParticipate in our One Walk
Participate in our biggest annual event and walk to defeat T1D. Every year, our Blue Army walks for the more than 130,000 Australians living with T1D to raise awareness and funds. This helps ensure that we can maintain the momentum of research towards improving lives for everyone living with this condition and eventually finding a cure.
Will you walk with us?Become a volunteer
JDRF began as a small group of passionate parents who believed their children deserved better. Volunteers have always been at our core and we wouldn’t be where we are today without them. Whether you are interested in volunteering at an event, as a mentor or just want to stay updated on volunteering opportunities, you can help make an impact. Express your interest and someone from our team will get in touch when a relevant opportunity comes up.
