Sven’s career spans paediatric, adult, community, and acute settings across regional and metropolitan Victoria. He has held senior clinical roles at South West Healthcare, The Royal Children’s Hospital, and Western Health, where he has managed portfolios in insulin pump therapy, continuous glucose monitoring, and diabetes technology implementation. His work has included on‑call sick‑day management services, transitional pathways for young adults, and the development of guidelines, policies, and quality‑improvement initiatives.

Sven has contributed widely to diabetes education and professional development. He has facilitated group programs across the lifespan, supported school‑based diabetes management, delivered training for health professionals and disability support workers, and served as a sessional lecturer in undergraduate nursing. He has been an active member of Diabetes Victoria’s community programs, including diabetes camps, the Diabetes in Schools initiative, and LGBTQIA+ inclusiveness work. His commitment to advancing diabetes care has been recognised through multiple Gwen Scott Grants and invitations to present at national diabetes and nursing conferences.

As part of his role at Diabetes Victoria, Sven:

  • Provides clinical assessment and management for people living with diabetes across the lifespan
  • Supports the initiation, optimisation, and troubleshooting of insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring
  • Delivers structured education for individuals, families, health professionals, and community organisations
  • Contributes to statewide diabetes programs, resource development, and policy improvement
  • Mentors clinicians undertaking postgraduate diabetes education

Sven’s approach is shaped by a belief in collaborative, holistic care. He works closely with individuals and families to understand their goals, reduce barriers to effective self‑management, and build confidence in navigating diabetes technology and treatment options.

Outside of work, Sven enjoys hiking and camping, cooking and sharing good food. He values time with his family and friends and brings the same grounded, compassionate presence to his personal life as he does to his clinical practice.
