National Allergy Strategy

The following is from the  website www.nationalallergystrategy.org.au

The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) and Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia (A&AA), as the leading medical and patient organisations for allergy in Australia, have developed the first National Allergy Strategy for Australia, in collaboration with other stakeholder organisations.

The Strategy aims to provide food businesses, particularly hospitals and food service businesses with tools to prevent food allergies being a problem. The tools include Guidelines, audits and a diet and menu guide for dieticians.

The tools can be found at https://www.nationalallergystrategy.org.au/resources/hospital-food-service

The Strategy is not only focussed on allergens in business but also on ways to reduce allergic reactions starting from infants and a specific site has been developed  tpo provide information and tools to help parents of infants potentially reduce the likelihood of those infants developing food allergies. Have a look at this site – www.preventallergies.org.au

Allergies are not only from food but also drugs or medications. The Strategy is also concerned with reducing these allergies as well through the Drug Allergies Project.
