The Australian type 2 diabetes risk assessment tool (AUSDRISK) is a short list of questions. It helps both health professionals and individuals to assess the risk of a person developing type 2 diabetes over the next 5 years.
You can complete AUSDRISK by yourself, or with the help of a health professional or practice nurse.
You can complete the tool in 1 of 3 ways:
- using the online interactive version (click Start now button below)
- using the online non-interactive version
- downloading the PDF version and completing it on paper.
To order hard copies of this tool, contact National Mailing and Marketing. The code for this publication is DR001.
If you get a 'high' score on AUSDRISK, you are eligible to attend a type 2 diabetes risk evaluation by your GP if you are aged:
- 40 to 49 years (inclusive)
- 15 to 54 years (inclusive) for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
