Employment + T1D

EMPLOYMENT

Discrimination in the workplace is not ok. An employer can not deny you a job based on you having Type 1. You have no obligation to inform your employer you have Type 1. If you forsee that your Type 1 may cause some safety issue in your work, you may advise you employer but should not be discriminated against. If you are facing any type of discrimination you can contact Fair Work Australia for further advice

Some specific jobs require medical clearance for safety reasons such as truck driving. Your GP or Endocrinologist can assist you with this.
