National Allergy Council

What National Allergy Council does

The National Allergy Council is a registered Australian charity and non-profit partnership between the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) and Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia (A&AA), established to deliver the National Allergy Strategy on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. It targets the approximately 8 million Australians living with allergic disease through a portfolio of evidence-based public health programs covering food allergy prevention (Nip allergies in the Bub), youth support (Allergy 250K), food service training (All about Allergens), school and childcare anaphylaxis management (Allergy Aware), clinical shared care including the allergy assist® GP advisory platform, drug allergy delabeling, digital allergy communication via My Health Record and FHIR standards, and a scoping National Anaphylaxis Reporting System.

Its underlying technology is digital health content and training delivery: multiple program-specific websites, free online training platforms with interactive modules, multilingual animations and resources, and integration with the Australian Digital Health Agency's My Health Record system using FHIR standards. Distribution is reinforced by partnerships with ACECQA, NACE, CFAR, CRANAplus, the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, and Sparked.

The business model is a single-funder non-profit: all programs and resources are provided free of charge, with operations funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, supplemented by minor co-funding from a Sanofi independent grant for allergic rhinitis content. The organisation does not generate commercial revenue from users; customer segments (GPs, schools, food service, young people, hospitals, people with allergies) are mission-served audiences rather than paying customers, and growth is programmatic and policy-driven rather than commercial.
