Looking after your metabolic health. Supporting the prevention, management and treatment of Australia's most prevalent chronic diseases.

Understanding Our Role
The Metabolic Health Foundation is an
Australian not-for-profit charity established in response to the
growing prevalence of metabolic-related conditions and a lack of awareness of the crucial role the metabolic system plays in our overall health.
We are committed to reducing Australia’s health risk, through
early detection of metabolic risk factors and
delivering improved management and treatment
through a growing network of expert health professionals.


2 million Australians have pre-diabetes, 70% of whom will eventually develop diabetes without timely intervention.
Being overweight or obese, and other dietary risk factors accounted for 17% of Australia's total disease burden.
People with Metabolic Syndrome are 3x more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, diabetes or kidney disease.
Over 50% of Australians delayed or avoided seeing a GP or medical specialist due to cost, long waiting times or services being unavailable.
