A package made with love when you need it most

Newly Diagnosed Care Packages

A type 1 diabetes diagnosis is a very difficult time and we wish to bring some light and joy into a child's life with a care pack made to do just that. Our care packages are packed carefully and lovingly by our Type 1 Foundation volunteers, to help you and your child feel supported, a sense of normality during the whirlwind of changes that are the initial stages of T1D diagnosis.

The pack includes a range of beautiful items for your child to enjoy, and some vital educational information and materials, with local and national support information and some emergency items for parents or carers whilst in hospital.

To date, we have distributed thousands of care packages to families all around Australia at diagnosis, in hospital or on arrival at home.
