Australian Chemical Trauma Alliance
The Australian Chemical Trauma Alliance (ACTA) was formed when it was
discovered that there was no organisation that was dedicated exclusively
to providing support for chemically affected people. Members have access
to the following services: counselling, advice, referrals to appropriate
medical and legal practitioners, and introductions to other members for
mutual support. In addition, there is a bi-monthly newsletter ("Up Date")
and an annual conference. It is a national organisation operated by volunteers
with State and regional representatives. Some States feature regular social
gatherings. ACTA collaborates with similar organisations in the USA, UK,
New Zealand and India, and is continually engaged in lobbying government
and other groups about the welfare of members.
