Grants

Grants for medical expenses available for 16-25-year-olds with diabetes.

The Doug Rawle Education Memorial Trust was established in memory of Doug Rawle, a former President of the then Diabetes Australia-ACT. He was also very active in the Lions movement. Diabetes ACT (DACT) is an indirect beneficiary of the Trust and works with the Trustees to direct funds to assist young people with diabetes.

Accompanied by a matching grant from DACT, the Trust is providing funding to help young people with diabetes between the ages of 16 and 25 with their necessary medical costs.

DACT has found that often younger people, who are no longer receiving government or family financial support, tend to minimize or neglect their medical treatment altogether. This is usually to their detriment later in life.

Whilst funds are limited, applications are invited from young people with diabetes between the ages of 16 and 25 who are in need of support for their medical expenses. Eligible expenses include medical and allied health services provided by your doctor, podiatrist, optometrist or other allied health professional. Only one application per person will be accepted. Receipts will be required.

Applications, outlining the costs to be reimbursed, should be addressed to:
