Our Collaborations

ASCIA and A&AA

The National Allergy Council is a partnership between the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) and Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia (A&AA). As such, the National Allergy Council works closely with ASCIA and A&AA in the development and delivery of our projects. Each National Allergy Council project has ASCIA and A&AA project co-leads to help guide the work.

National Allergy Centre of Excellence (NACE)

The National Allergy Council collaborates with the National Allergy Centre of Excellence, hosted at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI). The NACE is Australia’s peak allergy research body. It provides hubs for allergy research, repository and discovery, evidence and translation, and training and innovation to ensure Australia remains at the forefront of evidence-based management of allergic disease.

The NACE leads streams for each allergy discipline – drug, food, insect and respiratory. The Streams provide opportunities for allergy researchers to connect, collaborate and help revolutionise how allergy research is conducted and translated across Australia. Membership is free and open to anyone from the Australian and Zealand research community. Join NACE.

For individuals and families with allergic disease, the NACE National Allergy Studies Directory lists drug, food, insect and respiratory allergy research underway across Australia, currently accepting participants. The NACE will also oversee a Clinical Trials Network, a National Allergy Repository, living systematic reviews and training the next generation of allergy experts.

The National Allergy Council and NACE, with support from ASCIA and A&AA, work together to ensure the rapid, efficient translation of the latest research into practice.
