Five things to get organised for a great start to the new year
New year. New organisation.
This is the ideal time of year to get your life admin sorted, so you can start the new year feeling organised. Here’s a list of tasks to set you up for a great year ahead:
Clean out your wardrobe and have your pre-loved clothes picked up from your front door
Say goodbye to that coat that hasn’t seen the outside of your walk-in robe since circa 2017, and support diabetes research and
support programs in the process.
A wardrobe refresh always feels good. It feels even better when you use Diabetes Victoria’s convenient collection service.
Diabetes Victoria and Savers stores have a longstanding partnership that spans over 25 years. Savers purchases donated items from Diabetes Victoria and the funds raised support vital diabetes research and programs for the diabetes community.
Book a free collection from your door step – available at selected postcodes in Victoria.
Book a free telehealth appointment with one of Diabetes Victoria's practicing dietitians
A closer look at your nutrition is timely before the festive season. Book a one-on-one telehealth appointment at the Diabetes Victoria Clinic for personalised care from the comfort of home.
Our practicing dietitians will help you build a diabetes management plan that suits your lifestyle and help you stay healthy as we welcome the new year and beyond.
