How can I get involved?
Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia receives thousands of requests for information and support every year. We are dedicated to helping people with allergic disease to live their best life – but we need your support to make it happen. Find out how you can get involved today and help create a brighter future for people with allergies.
Share your story
Share your story. If you have a story or tips to share about your personal experiences travelling with food allergy – whether it’s local or abroad, we’ve love to hear from you! During Food Allergy Week we hope to share as many personal experiences as we can, so our community can learn from each other & build confidence in how to travel and not miss out these life experiences due to food allergy.
