Previously only available to practitioners working in regional and remote areas, allergy assist is now available to all GPs across Australia. The online service is securely hosted by the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM).
GPs can submit allergy-related cases online and receive specialist advice from a clinical immunology/allergy specialist within 48 hours, helping with diagnosis, management and referrals as needed.
GPs do not need to be ACRRM members to use the service.
