The Australian Diabetes Map is the only national map monitoring the spread of diabetes in Australia.
The Map uses groundbreaking information technology to present population data about Australians diagnosed with diabetes. It shows the numbers of people diagnosed with diabetes in all parts of Australia with information on age, gender and type of diabetes.
The Australian Diabetes Map is a live and dynamic reference tool for the whole community, our healthcare professionals, policy makers and researchers to help bring a better understanding of diabetes. The Map is being continually updated as new information becomes available.
The data contained in the Australian Diabetes Map is derived from the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) Registrant database and shows people diagnosed with diabetes who are registered on the Scheme. The NDSS is an initiative of the Australian Government administered by Diabetes Australia.
The information contained in the Australian Diabetes Map has recently been updated which has caused a change in previous numbers shown on the site, including the number of people diagnosed with diabetes. The Map now includes 2006 Census data reflecting prevalence rates at a national, federal electorate and local government level. There have also been some changes to the way in which the information has been extracted from the NDSS database.
