Our inspiration
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 and inspired the creation of Eczema Support Australia.
Since then, the organisation has gone from strength-to-strength, and has been built on the core belief that all families and individuals dealing with these chronic conditions deserve our community support.
