Our impact

Our mission is to improve lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications.
Our community-powered drive to transform the way governments understand and invest in T1D is key to all we do. This has produced nearly half a billion dollars of new investment in T1D in Australia in the last 10 years.
As a direct result of this program, JDRF has helped deliver a T1D-focused policy in every election cycle since 2004, across both parties in government.
