First Aid for Anaphylaxis in English and other Languages

  • ASCIA First Aid Treatment for AnaphylaxisAnaphylaxis is the most severe type of allergic reaction, which requires immediate treatment with adrenaline (epinephrine).
  • Anaphylaxis should always be treated as a medical emergency, as delayed treatment can result in death or disability.
  • Phone ambulance (000-AU or 111- NZ) after giving adrenaline.

Most cases of anaphylaxis occur after a person is exposed to the allergen they are allergic to (usually a food, insect or medication).

The following translations of First Aid for Anaphylaxis were funded by an educational grant from the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network (SCHN).
