About Us
Coeliac Australia is the national registered charity supporting Australians with coeliac disease and associated conditions requiring a gluten free diet. We provide membership and a range of support and information services to enhance the lives of people with coeliac disease, raise vital funds for research and create awareness of coeliac disease and the gluten free diet within the medical profession, food services industry and the broader community.
Our Vision
Coeliac Australia's vision is to enhance the lives of Australians with coeliac disease and related conditions.
Our History
The Coeliac Society of Australia was formed in 1980 to provide a national forum for the existing state-based Coeliac Societies. The early organisation played an important role in the development of Australia's labelling laws for gluten in food and pharmaceuticals.
Importantly, it established the Coeliac Australia Medical Advisory Committee to provide expert guidance on the development of key resources for the community and health care professionals.
In 2019 Coeliac NSW & ACT, Coeliac Victoria & Tasmania, Coeliac Queensland and Coeliac Western Australia amalgamated with Coeliac Australia to create a combined national organisation with members from all states.
The change in corporate structure means Coeliac Australia is a more efficient and well-governed organisation and is subsequently better placed to provide high quality member support and services across Australia.
