We are excited to announce the launch of the NEW National Allergy Council’s Allergy 250K ‘The Mystery of School Island’ game, Australia’s first curriculum-aligned allergy education game! 🎉

In Australia, around one in 20 school-aged children live with food allergy, so it’s important that schools, families and young people know how to manage potentially life-threatening allergies.

🏫 The game was specifically developed for students in Years 6 and 7 to help support kids moving from primary school to high school, but anyone can play the game.

💻 Players learn about food allergy and anaphylaxis through an interactive mystery-solving experience, designed to make allergy education more engaging, relatable and memorable for young people.

And that's a wrap on Food Allergy Week for 2026!

Test your knowledge by asking yourself:
• Do you know the signs of anaphylaxis?
• Do you know where your own or your loved one’s adrenaline device is? Remember to keep your ASCIA Action Plan for Anaphylaxis with your adrenaline device
• Do you know when and how to use it?

Thinking this through now could make a life-saving difference later.

🎢A D R E N A L I N E 🎢 Most people think adventure, we think anaphylaxis treatment💉🚑

Aside from the rush you get jumping out of the sky or whizzing down a rollercoaster, adrenaline is life-saving medication for someone experiencing a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).

There are more adrenaline devices on the market in Australia now than ever before, so it's important to make an informed decision with your doctor about which device is right for you 🤔

Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia have compared the similarities and differences of these devices in their new Adrenaline Hub: EpiPen®, Anapen®, neffy® and Jext®.

Do you work in children’s education and care? It is important to know how to provide the right meal to the right child with food allergy 🍛✨

Centres must have good communication about food allergy to make sure that the right food is given to the right child. Good communication and having checks in place will help to make sure children with food allergies receive the right meal.

This , we want to give you the knowledge you need to act in a food allergy emergency 🚑

If you think you, or someone you're with, is experiencing anaphylaxis, follow the instructions on the ASCIA Action Plan or ASCIA First Aid Plan for Anaphylaxis. Anyone at risk of anaphylaxis should carry their plan with them at all times, along with their adrenaline device.

Don't have an ASCIA Action Plan with you? This is what to do:
1. LAY PERSON FLAT – do NOT allow them to stand or walk
2. GIVE ADRENALINE (epinephrine) DEVICE if available
3. Phone ambulance – triple zero – 000 (AU)
4. Phone family/emergency contact
5. Another adrenaline device may be given after 5 minutes (if no response from first adrenaline device, or person is more unwell)
6. The person must go to hospital for at least 4 hours of observation.

We hope you'll never need this information, but it pays to be prepared. Read more on how to act in an emergency on Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia's website: https://loom.ly/YzDsItg
