"New laws to protect children who suffer life threatening allergies will make children safer, ease the anxiety of parents, reduce hospital admissions and lead to greater community understanding of anaphylaxis, the Premier, John Brumby, said. In an Australian first, the Victorian Government will introduce laws into Parliament this week to mandate minimum safety standards for schools and children services to protect children at risk of anaphylactic shock – a sudden, severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction."
