The campaign focus for 2025 is diabetes and the workplace, with the slogan “Know more and do more for diabetes at work.”

This World Diabetes Day, International Diabetes Federation (IDF) is calling on employers, employees and the global community to improve their knowledge about diabetes and take action to facilitate supportive work environments for people with the condition.

Yarrawonga-Mulwala’s Type 1 Peer Support (T1PS) group will present Kellion Victory medals to two local community members who have lived well with diabetes for 50+ years on World diabetes Day - 14th November with a celebratory dinner.

There are several ways for you to get involved and support the campaign in your local community:

Lest We Forget

Today, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of all who have served — and continue to serve — in defence of our freedom.

At Yarrawonga Health, we join our community in remembering the men and women who gave their lives, and those who returned carrying the lasting impacts of war.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
