Allergy and other immune diseases are amongst the fastest growing chronic and complex health conditions. More research is urgently needed to:
- understand why allergy and immune diseases are increasing so rapidly
- detect immune disease through genetic testing and newborn screening for primary immunodeficiency
- potential new treatments and cures

Our Story

Allergy and other immune diseases are amongst the fastest growing chronic and complex health conditions affecting children and adults in Australasia. Allergies, and in particular food allergy, is rapidly increasing in young children. Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and primary immunodeficiency diseases are potentially life threatening and cause significant impairment in day to day functioning. More research is urgently needed into: - understanding why allergy and immune diseases are increasing so rapidly - preventing allergy from occurring in the first place - detecting immune disease through genetic testing and newborn screening for primary immunodeficiency - potential new treatments and cures for these diseases High quality and far reaching education programs are required to: - increase awareness in the community - further educate health professionals - improve access to care
