Australia wide consultation meetings about improving access to care

24 April 2023

SCM Consultation

The National Allergy Council is holding in-person consultation meetings in Cairns, Brisbane, Hobart, Orange, Sydney, Darwin, Adelaide, Port Augusta, Albury, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth and Broome.

The meetings will be held during May and June and a full list of locations, dates and information about how to register is available on the Shared Care for Allergy Consultation Hub.

Accessing quality allergy care can be challenging, especially if you live in a rural or remote area. That is why the National Allergy Council is holding face-to-face meetings in different cities and regional centres so they can bring people together to talk about how to improve access to allergy care.

The National Allergy Council is inviting a wide range of people to attend the meetings so that different perspectives can be shared. This includes:

  • people living with an allergy or caring for someone with an allergy
  • public hospital and health service staff
  • healthcare professionals working in private practice
  • primary health networks
  • governments, health administrators, and
  • other interested people or groups.

The consultation meetings are part of the Shared Care for Allergy project which aims to improve access to quality care for people with allergies.

The National Allergy Council remains a partnership between ASCIA and Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia and continues to implement the National Allergy Strategy.

National Allergy Strategy
Rationale

Allergic diseases have become an increasingly important chronic disease and public health issue in Australia and other developed countries over the last two decades, contributing to increased demand for medical services, significant economic cost of care and reduced quality of life of people with allergic diseases and their carers.
