JDRF is becoming
Breakthrough T1D
JDRF Australia will become Breakthrough T1D officially on March 31- which is why our Blue Army website is starting to look a little different!
Why the change? Simple—our community.
Over the last 50 years, we have evolved, as has type 1 diabetes (T1D) science and understanding. The word ‘juvenile’ in JDRF no longer reflected our community, so we listened.
Breakthrough T1D honors our history while representing the entire T1D community and our ambitions.
We’re the same organisation with a new name and look. Our vision—a world without T1D—remains, as does our mission: to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat T1D.
Keep an eye on our socials for further updates!
If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes an army to defeat type 1 diabetes!
We're on a mission to defeat T1D and we'll keep fighting until we declare victory over this condition.
