The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA)

For those of us that deal with Allergy and Anaphylaxis. Here are some useful links for information in Australia (all information courtesy of ASCIA).

The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) was established in 1990 as the peak professional medical organisation for allergy and clinical immunology in Australia and New Zealand, by amalgamating the Australian College of Allergy (ACA) with the Australasian Society of Immunology (ASI) Clinical Immunology Group (CIG). 

There are now more than 530 ASCIA members and these include specialist allergy and immunology physicians, other medical practitioners, scientists and allied health professionals (mainly nurses and dietitians) who work in the areas of allergy and immunology. 

ASCIA is a member society of the World Allergy Organisation (WAO) and the Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical  Immunology (APAAACI).  ASCIA is also affiliated with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) as a specialty society.
