Funding
The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) and Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia (A&AA), as the leading medical and patient support organisations for allergy in Australia, developed the first National Allergy Strategy for Australia, in collaboration with other stakeholder organisations. ASCIA and A&AA greatly appreciate the funding support that has enabled the development and initial implementation of the National Allergy Strategy.
The National Allergy Strategy has now transitioned to the National Allergy Council, who will continue to implement the Strategy.
Development of the National Allergy Strategy
While funding from the Australian Government Department of Health has supported implementation since 2015, development of the National Allergy Strategy, including two Allergy Summits was funded by unrestricted education grants obtained by ASCIA. These grants were from the following organisations:
Major supporters:
- Mylan (formerly Alphapharm)
- Seqirus (formerly bioCSL)
- Stallergenes Greer
- Bayer
Other supporters:
- Nutricia
- Nestlé Nutrition
- Merck Sharp & Dohme
It is important to note that the content of both the Allergy Summits and the National Allergy Strategy has been independently developed and has not been influenced by organisations that have provided unrestricted educational grants.
