Today, we want to take a moment to celebrate and honour all the fathers who support and care for their children dealing with eczema. Your love, patience, and strength are truly remarkable.

Living with eczema can be challenging for the person who has it and the entire family. Dads, your unwavering support means the world. From late-night lotion applications to those soothing words of comfort during flare-ups, you are our superheroes.

Let's also remember the fathers who themselves manage eczema, setting an inspiring example of resilience and self-care for their children. Your experiences and wisdom are invaluable.

To the fathers who educate themselves about eczema, attend doctor's appointments, and advocate for the best care possible – thank you for being our advocates and champions.

Today, take a moment to pamper yourself, dads. You've earned it! Whether it's a relaxing bath, some extra moisturising, or simply some well-deserved rest, make sure you take care of yourself too.

Eczema Support Australia is here for you, just as you are there for your loved ones. We hope you have a fantastic Father's Day filled with love, joy, and plenty of special moments. 💙

🚫 "She'll grow out of it" – an all-too-familiar response for parents dealing with a child wracked by severe eczema, robbed of sleep and comfort.

🏥“We had to beg to get our five-year-old’s eczema treated seriously. Eventually, at our wits’ end, we presented to the emergency department.” (Quote from an eczema parent)

Enough is enough. We're in dire need of a National Eczema Strategy that ignites lasting transformation.

⏳ With only one week remaining, we're on a countdown to make a change. Your signature on our Parliamentary Petition could make all the difference. Let's rally together, pushing for the support our children and the adults with eczema need and deserve. 🖋️

"No one should ever feel like this."
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Brooke for her incredible courage in sharing her deeply personal journey as part of our new campaign. Eczema is more than just a skin condition. Those affected by eczema are at an increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts. Brooke, your strength in opening up about your struggles is a beacon of hope for others who might feel the same way.

If you are grappling with these feelings, remember that you are not alone, and help is always within reach. Reach out immediately – there are caring people waiting to listen. You can connect with Lifeline at 13 11 14 or reach out to the Suicide Call Back Service at www.suicidecallbackservice.org.au. Eczema Support Australia also provides psychological support and connects you with peers who understand.

Your story matters, and your experience can make a difference. If you believe that the care for eczema needs improvement, we urge you to share your thoughts below. Your Federal MP needs to hear your voice; together, we can advocate for change. Learn more about how you can get involved at www.eczemasupport.org.au/national-strategy.

⏳ Time is running out! Our Parliamentary Petition, calling for a #NationalEczemaStrategy to enhance care for all Australians dealing with eczema, is only open for a few more days.
