Anaphylaxis Network Australia LtdRegistered

Achievements of Analphylaxis Network Australia in the past year: 1. **Teddy Medic Events at Shopping Centres**: These events aim to raise awareness about food allergies and anaphylaxis by educating the public, especially children, on how to use EpiPens® in emergency situations. Through interactions with Teddy Medic mascots, the goal is to help families feel comfortable and familiar with handling food allergies. The events foster positive relationships by making discussions around allergies fun and accessible, helping reduce anxiety and stigma. 2. **Community Support via Social Media**: Anaphylaxis Network Australia uses its social media platforms to provide ongoing support to families and individuals living with food allergies. They raise awareness by discussing critical topics, such as how to recognize symptoms of anaphylaxis, when to use an EpiPen®, and navigating food allergies in social settings. They also offer a space for families to share their experiences and tips, creating a supportive online community. 3. **Education through Documentaries**: In 2023 and 2024, the network focused on producing a documentary titled **Risk**, which highlights the reallife dangers and challenges faced by individuals with food allergies. The documentary serves as an educational tool to spread knowledge about anaphylaxis in schools, workplaces, and healthcare settings. Plans are underway to create further professional content around this topic, aimed at spreading awareness and helping people understand how to prevent and respond to allergic reactions.
