About Me

Director of Salubrity Health Group.

Mrs. Bronwyn Newman, RN DE.

I am a registered nurse with a diverse background across multiple healthcare areas, including perioperative nursing, paramedicine, general practice, and aged care. I am passionate about providing comprehensive and compassionate care, particularly for individuals managing diabetes at various stages of life. My interests include childhood and adolescent diabetes care, pregnancy and gestational diabetes management, as well as pre- and post-operative diabetes care. I am committed to supporting patients and their families with tailored guidance and care that meets their unique needs, ensuring optimal health outcomes and improved quality of life. 

 

Our Commitment to Equitable Access for People Living with Diabetes

At the heart of everything we do is a simple, yet powerful goal: to provide equitable access to all living with diabetes. We believe that no matter who you are, where you live, or the challenges you face, everyone deserves the same opportunity to manage their health effectively.

Diabetes impacts millions of lives, and addressing this requires understanding, compassion, and action. By breaking down barriers to access—whether they’re financial, geographic, or informational—we’re striving to create a future where managing diabetes is easier, fairer, and more inclusive for all. Together, we can make this vision a reality.
