About Allergy Aware
Funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, the Allergy Aware website is a resource hub that provides information and practical resources to manage severe allergies in schools and children’s education and care.
This website has been developed by the National Allergy Council to support the allergy aware approach recommended in the Best practice guidelines for the prevention and management of anaphylaxis, developed in partnership with the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) and Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia and in consultation with key stakeholders.
