Eczema Support Australia (ESA) is a patient support, not for profit charity with DGR. Founded in 2016, ESA was inspired by a family with twin boys who have severe allergies and eczema - hence, ESA understands first-hand. the challenges of living with chronic eczema. We are a trusted information partner of HealthDirect, and a member of The Quality Use Of Medicines Alliance. Our vision is for all Australians living with eczema to overcome difficulties and thrive in their community through connection, information and advocacy. These three pillars guide ESA: • to connect those affected by eczema to others to reduce feelings of isolation. • to inform and educate those affected by eczema to successfully manage their condition. • to advocate for practical support to improve the lives of Australians affected by eczema.

*Studies show that eczema has a greater impact on quality of life (Burden of Disease) than cancer, asthma, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and clinical depression. It is a chronic, highly under-represented and often debilitating condition affecting over almost 3 million Australians.
