Welcome To Eczema Support Australia
Eczema SUPPORT Australia - Your Hands to Hold, aims to provide support to people in the Australian community experiencing a significant impact to their quality of life as a result of Chronic Allergic Diseases and/or Chronic Skin Conditions such as eczema.
We aim to reduce social isolation, improve quality of life and overcome social and other barriers created by the condition, through a number of different activities, services and networks.
According to the National Allergy Strategy (Aug 2015), over 4 million Australians are affected by chronic allergic diseases, and the quality of life for patients and carers is severely impaired. This is a growing issue and all those suffering are in need of more support.
Originally named Hands to Hold, Eczema Support Australia was inspired by a family with twin boys who have severe allergies and eczema. Thanks to the initiative and drive of a friend, this family finally received wonderful community support, which has made all the difference. All families and individuals dealing with these chronic conditions deserve our community support.
Eczema Support Australia is a support network only. Information received from a facilitator or a guest of Eczema Support Australia, does not constitute medical advice. You should seek independent medical or professional advice.
