EdHealth … experts in diabetes care support for people with intellectual disability across Australia

EdHealth supports the rights of  people with a disability to access quality and safe healthcare, despite their disability. EdHealth has pioneered a suite of diabetes support strategies and resources for people with an intellectual, cognitive and/or psychosocial disability in Australia. We create customised multi-level systems of support around people with a disability and their Circle of Support, to enable them to access quality healthcare and implement self care routines and support. 

The Diabetes 4 Disability (D4D) online training program has a flexible format, enabling us to bring together training modules to address the specific needs of each person's team, based on the diabetes medications and glucose monitoring technology the person with a disability uses. We can train support workers to give injectable diabetes medications (insulin and Ozempic/Trulicity/GlucaGen HypoKit)  and create Diabetes Management Plans to guide the support workers to be able to respond to their diabetes issues. Picture resources enhance the Diabetes Management Plan, benefiting the client and support workers alike by keeping the person with a disability actively involved in their diabetes self-care, to the best of their ability. We are a Registered NDIS Provider and deliver services across Australia as a leader in this space!
