Current ASCIA Action Plans are the General and EpiPen 2021 versions, and the 2022 Anapen version. However, prior versions (2021, 2020 and 2018) are still valid for use in 2022 and 2023. ASCIA Action Plans do not expire, and therefore the plan is still valid beyond the date of review, which is a guide for patients to see their doctor.

This plan is provided to people with drug (medication) allergies who are not usually prescribed an adrenaline injector, because accidental exposure to drugs can mostly be avoided. They are usually recommended to wear medical identification, to avoid exposure to drugs used in medical procedures.
An ASCIA Action Plan for Anaphylaxis for use with adrenaline autoinjectors on airlines is available upon request. This plan is should be stored with adrenaline autoinjectors in emergency medical kits on airlines.
Note: These have replaced the general versions of ASCIA Action Plans for Anaphylaxis (ORANGE)
This plan can be used as a poster or stored with general use adrenaline autoinjectors.
