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.
