Allergy Life Aid
Practical support to help Australians manage the cost of allergies
Allergy Life Aid is a practical support initiative by Allergy Life Australia, created to help people living with allergies cover some of the costs of everyday essentials, so they can access the support they need.
Allergy Life Aid may assist with the costs of allergy medications, food and meals, medical appointments, transportation, and home or environment needs required to live safer and happier lives.
The Allergy Life Aid initiative is delivered based on available resources, and operates through a simple queue system to ensure support is provided fairly and as quickly as possible.
Support may cover some or all of the requested costs. If your application is selected, we will let you know what assistance we are able to provide. All support is provided on a request basis, and any additional help depends on available resources. We’ll always do our best to assist where we can.
Please take a moment to read the information below. Applications will open soon.
Allergy Life Aid will be taking applications from late February/early March. If you would like to be notified when applications are open, please email us at contact@allergylife.com.au.

Support Allergy Life Aid
Allergy Life Aid is an initiative of Allergy Life Australia, a national charity created to provide needs-based support for Australians living with all types of allergies. Every day, children, families, young people, and adults across Australia need help but often face barriers due to access, cost, or resources.
We are committed to supporting Australians with allergies, but we cannot do it alone.
With your help, through donations or in-kind contributions, we can continue providing essential allergy support to those who need it most.

We cannot provide Allergy Life Aid without the support of individuals, businesses, and organisations across Australia. Your generosity makes a real difference in the lives of people living with allergies every day.
