This is why Eczema Support Australia is uniting families across Australia to issue an SOS for Kids with Eczema distress call. With your help, we have been raising awareness of the burden of severe eczema through social and mainstream media, empowering families to share their experiences through letters to Federal MPs and PBS committee submissions, and bringing our collective voice to Canberra to advocate for better access to effective treatments for children.
The Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) will soon consider adding dupilumab (brand name Dupixent®) to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for the treatment of severe eczema in children as young as six months of age. PBAC submissions are now closed. The next major milestone is the meeting of the PBAC, from 8-10 July, to decide whether dupilumab should be funded through the PBS for young children. The outcome of this review will be published on the Department of Health website on Friday, 21 August.

Who we are
Welcome to Eczema Support Australia
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 resulted in the formation of this organisation.
Eczema Support Australia Ltd is a national support network established in late 2015 and is an Australian Registered Charity.
Our support is based on the three pillars of Connection, Information and Advocacy.
