A&AA was established in 1993 as a charitable, not for profit organisation, to improve awareness of allergy and anaphylaxis in the Australian community, by sharing current information, education, advocacy, research, guidance and support.
A&AA is proud to promote free membership and easy access to information and support. The organisation is supported by federal government funding, sponsorship, sale of a small number of resources and generous donations. Their outreach extends to individuals, families, school, workplaces, health professionals, government, food industry and all Australians.
The A&AA Medical Advisory Board comprises ASCIA members who are clinical immunology/allergy specialists from across Australia. A&AA is part of an international alliance of like-minded organisations and works closely with peak medical bodies, including ASCIA.
