As the fastest growing chronic health problem in this country, diabetes affects nearly 5% of the population, or about 1.2 million Australians. Chronic kidney disease is also on the rise, affecting 1 in 10 Australians.
But the research we fund is helping people live well with these conditions.
We’re proud to support clinicians, scientists and students who continue to push the research boundaries in their fight to ultimately eliminate kidney disease and diabetes in Australia and around the world.
Together, we focus on translating science into clinical improvements and better quality of life for patients who suffer with these chronic and often disabling conditions.
