Our Association

The Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA), established in 1981, is the national peak body for diabetes education, management, and care in Australia. Our members are dedicated healthcare professionals committed to delivering evidence-based diabetes education to support the health and wellbeing of individuals living with or at risk of diabetes.

As the regulatory body for the Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE®) certification, ADEA ensures that CDEs have undergone rigorous training and possess expert knowledge in diabetes education. We promote best practices in diabetes care through advocacy, the development of standards, course accreditation, and research initiatives, while also providing resources and professional development opportunities for our members and healthcare professionals.
