World Diabetes Day 2026

More than 145,000 Australians live with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) – and every day, 8 more are diagnosed.
Go Blue for Breakthroughs is a national campaign to raise awareness and vital funds for T1D research.
Breakthrough T1D is the leading research, advocacy, and community support organisation for type 1 diabetes (T1D) globally.
Their vision is for a world without T1D.
Their mission is to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat T1D and its complications. 
Old Treasury Building will be lit in blue for this event from sunrise to sunset.
