Diabetes in the workplace
Most people with diabetes have long, productive, successful working lives with interesting and varied careers.
Diabetes Australia – Vic has developed the “An employee’s guide to diabetes in the workplace” booklet in response to questions, concerns and suggestions received from members of the diabetes community about diabetes in the workplace.
In the booklet you will find information, hints and practical examples on how to balance your diabetes with your responsibilities and rights at work.
The booklet includes:
- Diabetes and the stages of your working life
- Changing jobs and planning for retirement
- Your right and responsibilities
- Employee profiles
- Safety at work
- Managing your diabetes at work
- Where can I get help and more information?
- Hypoglycaemia emergency information
You can read the booklet online or call the DA–Vic infoline on 1300 136 588 to have a copy posted to you.
We would love to hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions for improving the booklet. Please email sbaxandall@diabetesvic.org.au.
