JellyBean Picnic - For kids aged 0-12 years

JellyBean ClubThe JellyBean Club

The JellyBean Club is designed to educate and support kids with diabetes under the age of 12 years. Benefits for JellyBean Club members include a personalised certificate, the annual JellyBean family picnic and a quarterly newsletter called JellyBean Scene.

Then, once you hit 13, it's time to move on! Are you a Bean or a Teen? If you are a JellyBean and want to continue receiving JellyBean Scene instead of the teenage newsletter, just call Gavin Cox on (02) 9552 9953.

The JellyBean Picnic

The JellyBean Picnic, held annually, is a wonderful opportunity for children with diabetes and their families to get together for a fun and educational day. For parents there is the opportunity to discuss any issues or questions with the diabetes educators present on the day.

Read about the 2008 JellyBean Picnic.

The next JellyBean picnic will be held on October 2009. If you are already a member of the JellyBean Club we will send you the registration form for the picnic closer to the date.

For more information, please call the Customer Care Line on 1300 136 588.
