Rio Tinto Children's Diabetes Centre

Improving the lives of young people with diabetes

Based at The Kids Research Institute Australia (The Kids) and Perth Children's Hospital (PCH), we aim to improve the lives of children and young adults living with diabetes by bringing together research, education and clinical care.

Improving the lives of young people with diabetes

The Kids Research Institute Australia acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of the land and waters of Australia. We also acknowledge the Nyoongar Wadjuk, Yawuru, Kariyarra and Kaurna Elders, their people and their land upon which the Institute is located and seek their wisdom in our work to improve the health and development of all children.
