About Us

Type 1 Diabetes Gala Canberra was formed in 2024 with a clear purpose to bring the Canberra community together to support those living with type 1 diabetes and to drive meaningful change.

Founded by passionate local advocates and families personally impacted by type 1 diabetes, the Gala was created to raise vital funds, increase awareness, and build a strong, united community around this cause. What began as a vision to create connection and impact has quickly grown into a powerful annual event that combines elegance, inspiration and generosity.

The Gala shines a light on the daily realities faced by children and adults living with type 1 diabetes, while celebrating resilience, strength and hope for a future free from the condition.

Together with our sponsors, supporters, families and friends, we are building something truly special in Canberra a night that not only brings people together, but helps change lives.
