Resources for teens and young adults with severe allergies including food allergies

Did you know there are 250,000 teens and young adults in Australia living with a severe allergy?

The National Allergy Council’s Allergy 250K program has been created with young people for young people.

There are two websites – one for teens and one for young adults. These cover a range of topics to help manage allergies. Many helpful resources including animations are available from the websites.

Through the Allergy 250K program, the National Allergy Council runs a teen camp each year. The camps connect teens living with severe allergies with each other and with our Allergy 250K peer mentors.

The Allergy 250K program also connects young adults living with severe allergies with each other and with our Allergy 250K peer mentors through video chats and camps.
