People who speak multiple languages are being asked to help review a food allergy guide aimed at improving support for culturally diverse patients before it is translated into several languages.
The call focuses on Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia’s Managing Food Allergy Quick Guide, which is being prepared for translation so it can reach more families who manage food allergies across different communities.
Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia is a national patient support organisation that provides guidance, education and assistance to Australians living with allergic disease.
The organisation is seeking reviewers who speak Arabic, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian or Farsi. Participants are asked to read the guide in English and provide feedback through a short survey before the translation process begins.
The review is intended to help ensure the guide is clear, culturally respectful and easy to understand for families from a wide range of backgrounds who are dealing with food allergies.
According to the organisation, feedback from people within those communities, including multilingual patients, carers, health workers and community contacts, will help refine the material before it is translated and distributed more widely.
“All you have to do is read the guide in English and share your feedback in a short survey,” the organisation said in its call for reviewers.
The organisation said the aim is to make the information clearer and more useful for families who rely on accurate guidance to manage food allergies in daily life.
Those interested can access the guide and submit their responses online.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
