AAI is Australia’s only, not for profit patient support organisation for those managing severe allergy and anaphylaxis.
18 years ago, a group of Sydney parents of food allergic children formed our organisation. This group came together to share information and to advance the well being of those living and managing severe allergy. Today AAI is the largest and most active organisation serving the allergic community. We are where we are today because of those founding parents and the many others who have joined along the way. Their foresight, their phenomenal passion and commitment has ensured that our organisation remains so strong.
AAI continues to make a huge contribution to supporting those of us who by no choice of our own, belong to a group of one of the world's most rapidly increasing allergic diseases. We are a membership based organisation, and your membership comes with privileges. Misinformation and sensationalism is rife in our world that is driven by money, media and social networking.
AAI is committed to being independent, to providing science based researched information and to always remain investigative on behalf of those managing severe allergy.
AAI members are the driving force behind significant advancements and improvements to the allergic individual’s quality of life across the country. Since we started out, our members have not wavered in their determination to end discrimination, poor understanding of severe allergy and increase awareness of this life changing diagnosis.
AAI members continue to be the catalyst through our input into national and community-based programs to address the needs of those living and managing anaphylaxis.

Why do schools and childcare centres take up membership?
With the increase in prevalence of food allergy to 1 in 10 infant children, many schools are finding that they often have more than one child/student/staff member at risk of anaphylaxis in attendance. Membership allows you and your staff to become aware of current allergy management issues and concerns. We provide access to a wider range of risk minimisation and management strategies. Access to our information can help answer tricky questions. Members can also discuss scenarios that may arise from time to time.
