Dr Vinutha Shetty is an Endocrinology Consultant at Perth Children’s Hospital and the lead of the Adolescent Diabetes Service within the Endocrinology Department. She is a Clinical Lecturer with the University of Western Australia and an Honorary Research Associate with the Kids Research Institute. Her clinical and academic work is centred on improving care for young people with Type 1 diabetes, with a strong focus on holistic, developmentally appropriate care and system-level innovation.

Dr Shetty completed her PhD in 2020 at the University of Western Australia. Her PhD was a series of studies exploring glucose requirements to prevent hypoglycaemia during different intensities of exercise in young people with T1D. The findings from this work have significantly influenced international best practice and were incorporated into the International Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) exercise guidelines, which are now used globally.

A champion of digital health innovation, Dr Shetty played a leading role in co-developing acT1ve, a smartphone app co-designed with young people with diabetes to support safe and confident exercise. Her research portfolio continues to expand and now includes nutrition and mental health, with her latest initiative—Teaching Kitchens—aiming to empower adolescents with T1D through hands-on cooking skills, mindful eating strategies, physical activity, and behavioural change education.

Deeply committed to health equity, sustainability, and integrative care, Dr Shetty brings a unique perspective to her work, combining rigorous clinical research with a systems-thinking lens. She is an active member of the CAHS Earth Ambassadors Network, working to reduce healthcare’s environmental footprint. Her interests span ecological health, personal and planetary well-being, and the creation of sustainable, inclusive care models.

A passionate advocate for equity and authentic leadership, Dr Shetty fosters a culture of integrity, empathy, and collaboration in her teams. She is deeply engaged in mentoring the next generation of clinicians to become not only evidence-based thinkers but also courageous, compassionate leaders. As a culturally diverse female clinician-scientist, she is committed to calling out bias, championing fairness, and ensuring that all voices are valued in decision-making.

Her long-term vision is to establish an innovative Transitional Diabetes Care Clinic for 16–25-year-olds model, that bridges the paediatric-adult care divide through a coordinated, person-centred approach. She has a strong interest in integrating digital health tools, such as brief meditation and self-regulation interventions, to support holistic care. She is driven by the resilience and courage of young people and their families living with T1D in Western Australia—who inspire her daily to develop research and services that empower independence, improve outcomes, and ensure that every child can thrive. She envisions a future where no young person feels lost in transition.

Personal quote

"My work is driven by the voices and experiences of young people living with Type 1 diabetes and their families—who face daily challenges with courage and grace. In the next 10 years, I envision a system where transitional care is seamless, empowering, and inclusive; where young people are supported not just medically, but holistically, to thrive in every aspect of their lives. I believe care should be collaborative, equitable, and sustainable—for our patients, our communities, and our planet."
