Home > About Us > About Us
Healthy Living NT is the trading name of the Diabetes Association of the NT Inc.
We are a charitable, independant, member based, organisation for people with diabetes and related conditions. As a consumer based organisation we are managed by a voluntary board, and are committed to the well-being of all people with diabetes.
The organisation is a member of the Good Health Alliance NT (GHANT) , a coalition of NT chronic disease non government organisations and maintains close relationships with State and Territory Diabetes Organisations around Australia. Visitors to our webpages should be aware that Healthy Living NT resigned from the national federation of Diabetes Australia in May 2009.
This change does not affect member services or program delivery in any way. Healthy Living NT remains the NT Agent for the National Diabetes Services Scheme, delivering these services as part of the national contract with the Commonwealth Government.
Healthy Living NT is committed to working for the interests of people with diabetes in the NT and beyond and to the provision of high quality services to our members and clients.
Members of Healthy Living NT receive substantial discounts and benefits on a range of products and services, quarterly copies of the local magazine Territory Way and the national magazine, plus a range of value added benefits.
Healthy Living NT provides a range of services and benefits including:
- Membership
