Living with the risk of a severe allergic reaction, or anaphylaxis, takes planning, diligence and clear communication. However, having a severe allergy doesn't mean you have to stop living your life.  With awareness, education and training, those who live with the risk and their families can lead normal, healthy lives.

The information on this website is designed to help individuals, parents and carers of people living with this risk and it should not take the place of personalised treatment and care.  We encourage anyone who suspects they may have an allergy or those who have already been diagnosed to consult their allergist, immunologist, paediatrician or GP for personalised treatment and care.  This includes regular follow-up so that you can access up to date information on managing your risk of anaphylaxis.

Most importantly, never self-diagnose or rely on anecdotal information. There is currently no cure for food allergy. Treatment focuses on managing the condition and increasing community awareness of this potentially life-threatening condition; a national health issue which cannot be ignored.
