Join us for our DiaBuddies Family Picnic in Kotara this May!

Diabetes Australia invites you to join us for our upcoming DiaBuddies Family Picnic at Blackbutt Nature Reserve in Kotara. We understand the unique challenges and experiences that come with managing type 1 diabetes. Our special family picnic is aimed at creating a supportive and inclusive environment where families can come together, share stories, and make new connections.


The DiaBuddies team have been allocated the Creek Shelter in the reserve and families are invited to bring their own picnic lunch and enjoy the wildlife exhibits, walking trails and playground. Please note the nature reserve will be shared with the general public throughout the morning.We will host a range of small activities providing opportunities for children living with type 1 diabetes and their siblings to meet other children their age. These activities will be scheduled on the hour and will include games such as egg & spoon race. A table will also be set up where parents/carers can speak with our credentialled diabetes educators and children living with type 1 diabetes can enter into our carb counting competition. Families are encouraged to check-in on arrival with the DiaBuddies team to receive a goodie bag.

We look forward to spending this fun-filled morning with you!
