JDRF Australia is now
Breakthrough T1D
JDRF Australia is officially Breakthrough T1D, as of 31 March 2025 - which is why our Blue Army website is looking 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 honours 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.
