View and Vote

National Diabetes Week (NDW) ran from the 8th-15th July. The campaign for NDW in 2012 was to push for a Government funded Prevention scheme for Type 2 diabetes through the “email your MP” initiative. This allowed users to be active participants in the campaign. Upon entering your email address and postcode, users were given the option to email their state or federal MP by selecting from a list and using the default letter available, or creating a personal message. The email itself also had a default setting where federal and state MPs were automatically emailed, to approach all facets of the government. Other features of the site include a risk assessment tool where users are able to determine the risks of developing type 2 diabetes, an image rotator of the campaign posters that were promoted around Australia, and information about preventing type two diabetes.
