Congratulations to four outstanding early-career researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia, who have been awarded BrightSpark Foundation fellowships and project funding for 2026.

We know many families have questions about the risk of COVID-19 to children with type 1 diabetes. To address these questions, Perth Children’s Hospital’s Diabetes Clinic has provided information and resources to help you navigate this tricky period.

Type 1 diabetes presents significant challenges for optimal management. Despite intensive glycaemic control being the standard of care for several decades, glycaemic targets are infrequently achieved and the burden of complications remains high. Therefore, the advancement of diabetes management technologies has a major role in reducing the clinical and economic impact of the disease on people living with type 1 diabetes and on health care systems.

Our Centre is involved with a wide range of research projects, many involving collaborating with partners to run trials of new technologies and treatments.

The Children's Diabetes Centre provides student opportunities for integrated research and clinical projects across all our research areas.

Our researchers are trying to learn more about the effect different types of food have on blood glucose levels and how to give the best insulin dose to manage a variety of foods.

Our research group is looking for patterns in newly diagnosed diabetic patients in WA to understand the characteristics and risk factors of children with T1D.
