Living with anaphylaxis – the checklists

The list of lists for anaphylaxis –
checklists for getting on with your life

Life is for living, but sometimes ‘Life Happens’. That’s why we have prepared a few checklists to help you prepare for the life events you might encounter.

Whether it’s eating away from home, travelling or just a sleepover, there’s lots of things you can do to ensure you or your child can still enjoy a normal active life.

Below are some everyday situations that we all experience from time-to-time.

Simply click on the checklist that interests you to download a printable copy for your planned activity.

Starting school or back to school

Starting school or heading back at the beginning of the school year is an important time to review your preparation practices. Download the checklist to make sure you’ve got all the basics covered.

Eating out or away from home

Eating away from home or dining out, where the food is out of your control, makes many people anxious. But with this checklist, we’ll help you take back some control.

Parties

Parties, like eating out, can increase the risk of exposure to allergens/triggers including foods and biting/stinging insects, so it’s very important to be prepared. This list will help.

Travel

When you’re in unfamiliar places, be it local, remote or overseas, you’ll need to add a few extra items to your travel checklist. This list might help ease the burden so you can enjoy your holiday from start to finish.

Camps, excursions and school trips

With emergency services potentially some time away, you need to take extra care with your ‘being prepared’ planning.

Sleepovers

Like parties, the risk of allergen exposure can increase when there’s fun to be had and food and drink to be shared. This checklist will help prepare you and help protect your child.

Playdates

Playdates at playgrounds and parks or in other people’s homes are another occasion when extra care should be exercised. This list provides some tips for those times.

Food labels

Potential allergens can turn up in very unexpected places – like shellfish in Mexican salsa products, so it’s important that you acquaint yourself with the art of reading food labels.
