Preparing for Tropical Cyclone Alfred: Support for People Living with Diabetes 

Published:

With Tropical Cyclone Alfred on the way, our thoughts are with everyone in the affected areas. Extreme weather can bring challenges, but if you or someone you care about lives with diabetes, there are steps you can take now to stay prepared and supported. 

Making sure you have what you need

If you need NDSS products, you can access them at NDSS Access Points, which are usually pharmacies. If you don’t have your NDSS card, don’t worry—you can still access your supplies using your Medicare card. 

To find your nearest NDSS Access Point, visit Healthdirect. 

We’re here to help

If you need support or are having trouble accessing your NDSS products, please reach out. The NDSS is here to support you. 

For assistance, contact the NDSS Helpline on 1800 637 700 (Monday to Friday: 8:30 am – 5:00 pm) or email [email protected]. 

Diabetes Australia acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this Country. We recognise their connection to land, waters, winds and culture. We pay the upmost respect to them, their cultures and to their Elders, past and present. We are committed to improving health outcomes for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people affected by diabetes and those at risk.
