Since its inception in 1993, Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia(A&AA) has been working tirelessly to improve the quality of life of Australians with allergic disease.
Originally called Food Anaphylactic Children Training & Support Association Incorporated (FACTS), A&AA was founded by Meg Johnson, who was alarmed at the lack of information available when her own son was diagnosed with egg allergy as an infant.
Today we are a registered charity and Australia’s only national patient support organisation, dedicated to helping individuals and carers alike in managing allergic disease. We listen, guide and educate Australians living with allergic disease and advocate on their behalf to ensure their voices are heard.
With a Medical Advisory Board providing evidence-based information and advice, we are the trusted charity in Australia for allergy support.
We work closely with relevant state and commonwealth government departments, health professionals, food industry, schools and children’s services, workplaces, coroners’ courts and more to advocate for people living with allergies and their families.
