Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Monday Clinic 
WSD has opened a Monday clinic specifically for those who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander with Type 1 and complex Type 2 Diabetes at Mt Druitt Community Health Centre’s Diabetes Clinic.

The Mount Druitt Diabetes Clinic is a partnership between Blacktown Hospital and the Western Sydney Diabetes (WSD) team and helps manage people living with Type 1 and complex Type 2 diabetes in Mount Druitt and Blacktown.

A person with diabetes can meet our friendly team and an Aboriginal Support staff member and referring GPs can join the appointment via telehealth to discuss the management plan.
