The government is currently considering submitting a federal inquiry into diabetes, a condition that is on the rise across Australia.
Between 2000 and 2021, the number of people with diabetes almost tripled [[from 460,000 to 1.3 million]].In May, the government launched a parliamentary inquiry into diabetes, to better understand this growing problem.
The committee is currently considering more than 400 submissions made by various health care organizations and providers, as well as individuals living with the condition.
The diversity of groups represented in the application process reflects the breadth and depth of the problem. It also shows how some communities are disproportionately impacted.
