About the Project
A body of work undertaken in 2008 by Alfred Health investigating the impact of diabetes on their services and across the service system lead to the formation of the South East Bayside Diabetes Alliance (SEBDA). The alliance comprises twelve key agencies responsible for diabetes services across the Inner South East and Bayside catchments who in 2009 agreed to work in partnership to improve care continuums and collaboration across health care settings for the management of diabetes. The agencies involved include primary care partnerships, local divisions of general practice, hospitals, community health services and diabetes peak bodies
