Sponsors and Supporters
Diabetes Counselling Online was self funded by our Founder from 2001 – 2004 and then supported via the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) with seed funding during 2004 – 2009, administered by Diabetes Australia. This enabled us to become a national charity and to grow and develop our organisation. From 2009 – 2012 we have been supported by volunteers, fundraising, donations, grants and sponsors.
We have now won a grant from July 2012 – July 2015 through the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing to develop our services. Ensuring sustainability beyond this grant is critical and as an independent charity it is our priority to secure corporate partners for major sponsorship so we can continue to offer our unique services into the future.
In operation since late 2001, we are now valued by the diabetes community, have received national and international recognition and awards and continually strive to improve and develop our services.

Sponsor opportunities
We are seeking Corporate Sponsors and partners. We aim to develop partnerships with organisations who both support our values of enabling wellbeing and mental health for people with diabetes and the community at large; and who are unique and inspirational in their approach to their business.
We are leaders in the online counselling arena and in diabetes and mental health – and can offer wide exposure and benefits to our partner organisations. When we started there were only 2 other organisations providing these types of online services and we are in the front line of counselling using the Internet in Australia to deliver health servicces.
