Behind an ordinary morning can be a hundred invisible decisions. The lunchbox, the labels, the conversations, the plans.

To the food allergy mum thinking three steps ahead: we see the care that goes into your child’s day. 💛



Filling the car, but mentally organising Saturday’s playdate.

What snacks will be there? Have we talked about their allergies? Does the other parent know what to do if there’s a reaction?

Even the quiet moments can come with a checklist. Does this feel familiar? 💛



A hand on your bump. Your child beside you. So much love—and questions you’re already carrying.

“How will we introduce foods to this baby while keeping their sibling with food allergies safe?”

There is room for excitement and uncertainty together. You deserve to feel heard and supported as your family grows. 💛



The familiar packet still gets another look.

For a food allergy mum, the weekly shop can mean reading, comparing and thinking through every choice—while a little voice asks, “Can we go yet?”

We see the time and attention behind that trolley. 💛



You want them to run through the door, find their friends and feel part of the celebration.

Behind that moment may be messages to the host, questions about food and a carefully packed alternative.

To everyone who helps a child feel safe and included: those thoughtful efforts matter. 💛



They’ve drifted off. Your mind is checking tomorrow.

Medication packed? School plan ready? Who needs a reminder?

If your thoughts keep going after the house goes quiet, you’re not alone. Your need for rest and support matters, too. 💛



To the mum doing the planning, checking, explaining and reminding: we see you.

You deserve people who listen, learn and help share the responsibility, so there is more room for the moments you want to enjoy together.

With care, Immunity Group A

🇦🇺🇰🇷 Connecting Australian ambition with South Korean biotech innovation. 🔬

As co-founder of Immunity Group Australia, I am dedicated to exploring new diagnostic technologies and building the international relationships that could help bring them to Australia.

Meeting the Invitros team in Seoul, a diagnostics company with roots in LG Chem, was an exciting opportunity to discuss biotechnology, allergy diagnostics and the potential for collaboration between our countries.

This work brings together two parts of my professional life: biotechnology and public policy. My seven years working in the Australian Parliament gave me a deep understanding of how policy, diplomacy and international relationships shape opportunities for Australia. Today, I bring that experience to conversations about healthcare innovation. 🌏

Our bilateral Korea–Australia Free Trade Agreement provides a foundation for trade and investment. I see real potential to build on it through closer links between biotech companies, researchers and clinicians, sharing expertise and exploring how promising technologies could meet Australian needs.

As a founder and a mother of two children with food allergies, that ambition is personal. I want international collaboration to translate into meaningful progress for families. 💙

Thank you to the Invitros team for the warm welcome and thoughtful exchange. Excited to keep this Australia–South Korea conversation moving forward.

— Dr Nina Markovic-Khaze, PhD

You see a smiling child.
A colleague enjoying lunch.
A family boarding a plane.

You may not see the food allergy, or the planning behind every ordinary moment.

What are the ingredients?
How was it prepared?
Could there be cross-contact?
Will my concerns be taken seriously?

For someone with food allergies, eating can involve decisions others rarely have to consider.

Someone can look well and still live with the risk of a serious allergic reaction.

Food allergy is an immune condition.

Being well today does not make their precautions unnecessary.

Reading labels. Packing safe food.
Checking medication. Calling ahead.
Explaining the same needs again.

Behind a school day, birthday party or holiday, there can be hours of preparation.

That effort deserves understanding.

Worry about accidental exposure.
Feeling left out.
The exhaustion of staying vigilant.
Wanting independence while needing support.

Food allergies can affect wellbeing and quality of life, for individuals and their families.

GPs are often the first people families turn to.

Research can help identify gaps in care and inform practical support, from recognising food allergy and arranging appropriate referrals to understanding its emotional impact.

Everyday challenges deserve research that helps everyday care.

Listen when someone explains their allergy.
Take their precautions seriously.
Include them in the planning.
Support food allergy research.

At Immunity Group Australia, we believe the unseen burden deserves attention, in our communities and in our consulting rooms.

✈️ Australia’s food-allergy air travel story is about to be heard.

Flying with food allergy should not depend on who answers the phone, who is working at the gate or which cabin crew is rostered that day.

The Allergy Microbiome Foundation’s National Air Travel and Food Allergy Survey heard from 343 passengers, parents and carers.

Preliminary findings reveal:

• 87.5% said allergy risk influences their decision to fly
• 88.3% described flying as moderately or extremely stressful
• 66.8% found airline allergy policies unclear or difficult to locate
• 73.3% rated the support provided by Australian airlines as poor or very poor

Passengers are not asking airlines to guarantee an entirely allergen-free cabin. They are asking for clear policies, reliable communication, consistent staff training, practical pre-boarding procedures and accountable systems that passengers and airline employees can understand.

The full report and recommendations will be unveiled at the 2026 Food Allergy Gala.

📅 Wednesday, 21 October 2026
🕡 6:30 pm
📍 The Tea Room, Queen Victoria Building, Sydney

This is why the gala is important not only for families and clinicians, but also for airlines, airports, regulators, government and the wider travel industry.

It is an opportunity to hear the evidence, understand passengers’ experiences and help shape practical improvements that support both travellers and frontline aviation staff.

Immunity Group Australia is proud to support the independent charitable work of the Allergy Microbiome Foundation and this important national conversation.

Across this series, we have called for stronger food-allergy research, better GP resources, more connected shared care, greater diagnostic precision, empowered families and fairer access across Australia.

Now we are inviting our community to come together in support of that future.

The Food Allergy Gala Dinner will be held on Wednesday, 21 October 2026 at The Tea Room, Queen Victoria Building, Sydney. It is an evening of connection, education and purpose, bringing together families, clinicians, researchers, advocates and community supporters.

By attending, sharing the event or encouraging others to participate, you help elevate the case for food-allergy research and stronger community-based care. The goal is not simply to discuss the gaps. It is to help create the partnerships, resources and momentum needed to address them.

Immunity Group Australia is proud to use its platform to advocate for better allergy care and to support awareness of this independently organised fundraising event.

IIn her National Press Club address, Georgie Dent of The Parent Hood asked Australia to stop treating the cost of raising children as a private problem for families to absorb. Her central message was urgent: “Australia can’t afford for raising a family to be unaffordable.”

New analysis reported by The Guardian estimates that families raising two or more children now need at least $36,500 a year, with the cost up 134% over two decades.

For food allergy families, there is another layer to that national cost-of-living story. The price of safety is often paid quietly, behind closed doors.

Food allergy families may face recurring costs for adrenaline devices and other prescribed medicines, allergy-aware foods, medical appointments, travel and parking, ambulance cover, and childcare, dining or accommodation options able to manage allergen risk. Reactions and appointments can also mean missed school and missed work.

Not every family faces every cost, and the burden differs according to a child’s needs, where a family lives and what support or cover they have. But the pattern is clear: food allergy carries financial and social costs that are often invisible to everyone outside the household.

In anaphylaxis, adrenaline is the first-line treatment. Antihistamines and corticosteroids do not treat anaphylaxis and must never delay adrenaline. Always follow the individual’s ASCIA Action Plan and medical advice.

Thank you Georgie Dent, The Parent Hood and National Press Club Australia for bringing the hidden pressures on Australian parents into the national conversation. This post is independently produced by Immunity Group Australia and extends that conversation through the experience of food allergy families; it does not imply endorsement by Georgie Dent, The Parenthood or the National Press Club.

Does this reflect your family’s experience? What hidden cost would you add?

A discovery is only the beginning.

For research to change lives, it must move through a complete pathway: rigorous evidence, clinician education, practical resources, clear models of care, implementation in real settings and measurement of outcomes.

In food allergy, that means asking not only “Does this work?” but also:

• Can it be delivered safely in everyday healthcare?
• Which patients are most likely to benefit?
• What training and governance are required?
• Is the pathway accessible outside major centres?
• What are the costs for families and the health system?
• Does it improve quality of life as well as clinical outcomes?

Implementation research helps close the gap between publication and practice. Consumer involvement strengthens that work by ensuring researchers measure outcomes that matter to people living with food allergy.

Immunity Group Australia advocates for research partnerships that include families, GPs, allergy specialists, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists and health-service researchers. Better systems are built when evidence travels across professional boundaries.

The Food Allergy Gala is an opportunity to bring the community together around that shared purpose.
