At DRWA, our purpose is to:

  1. Fund and advance research for the prevention, control and cure of all forms of diabetes.
  2. Support scholarships, fellowships or travel grants for the purpose of promoting diabetes research.
  3. Raise funds to support the above.

Spearheading research that’s changing lives.

Diabetes Research WA, or DRWA, was established with a vision to fund and advance research for the prevention, control and cure of all forms of diabetes. Since our formation in 1976 our generous donors have contributed $26 million towards diabetes research programs that are undertaken right here in Western Australia.

We are fortunate to have some of the world’s most esteemed diabetes researchers in Western Australia, leading the way in the development of diabetes treatments and new preventative measures. At DRWA we are intensely passionate about the work our researchers do and are confident we are closer to finding the solutions to diabetes.
