The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy

ASCIA anaphylaxis e-training has been developed by the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA), in conjunction with the Health Departments of Western Australia and New South Wales (NSW), to provide ready access to reliable anaphylaxis education throughout Australia and New Zealand, at no charge.

Development of ASCIA anaphylaxis e-training has included an extensive review process which involved ASCIA members, Health Departments and Education Departments as well as representatives from schools, childcare services and education departments throughout Australasia.

ASCIA anaphylaxis e-training (Version 1.0) has been developed for school and childcare staff where face to face training is not possible (or feasible), or as a refresher, or for interim training whilst waiting for face to face training. ASCIA anaphylaxis e-training courses can also be taken by parents, friends, carers or patients themselves.
