This year鈥檚 theme honours the enduring strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

芒果直播 highlighted the risk of type 2 diabetes posed to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in its recent State of the Nation report.

The report outlines how diabetes disproportionately affects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
