Our Story
The population of Wollondilly Shire in South Western Sydney is 46,000, of whom ~2100 have known diabetes. This rural shire has 19 ‘villages’ with no secondary care-centres, few allied health providers, no local endocrinologist and a low GP: patient ratio (1: 2750). The Wollondilly Health Alliance has funded the Wollondilly Diabetes Programme(WDP) to promote healthier lifestyles to prevent and manage diabetes. The Wollondilly Diabetes Programme supports the work of both local general practices and local diabetes services.
WDP offers an integrated approach to diabetes management and prevention. The services include Diabetes Group Education, Individual Appointments with our Dietitian/Diabetes Educator, Endocrinologist Specialist Consult (GP Referral required for Individual Appointments), GP case conferencing, Peer Support for those with Diabetes and/or at risk of Diabetes including links to wider community-based lifestyle activities. Any adult 18 years and over, living in in the Wollondilly Shire is eligible to access these Free-of-Charge services through the WDP.
We are now looking for motivated adult volunteers with diabetes to become ‘Peers’ or ‘Peer Support Facilitators. Motivated individuals can join as a Peer Support Facilitator who will receive a free 2-days training group workshop on promoting a healthy lifestyle OR simply join us as a Peer and hear more about dealing with your diabetes!
