Our Specialities
At Queensland Allergy Services we have three very experienced allergy clinicians who will provide a tailored consultation aimed at educating about allergies for better quality of life. In some instances desensitisation to problem allergens such as dust mite and grass pollens, can provide an effective “cure” for problem airway symptoms.
Before arranging an appointment with one of our specialists you will need to obtain a referral from your doctor. Due to the specialised nature of our service waiting periods can sometimes be lengthy. Priority is given to infants and young children and any person who has experienced a severe allergic reaction.

What we Do
We have a trained and dedicated administrative team working cohesively with our clinical support, together offering an advanced and specialized skill set.
Our two registered nurses Linda and Rose and our Nurse Practitioner Ms. Jody Thomson provide a holistic approach to all aspects of treating, testing and managing allergies, underpinning Professor Pete’s unique framework at Queensland Allergy Services.
Our team are able to triage your referral and may facilitate your appointment leading to a faster positive health outcome.
After taking a careful clinical history and testing for allergies when appropriate, we teach you how to manage your reactions. Allergic disease can affect one or more of the body systems so education about management can be quite complex and involve skin care, treating the airway and managing diet as well as educating about the role of environment. By addressing each problem, we improve the chances of success.
What can we test for?
At the time of the appointment, we can test for a wide range of food and environmental allergens to pinpoint the triggers for allergic symptoms. If there is something specific you would like to be tested for please inquire at the time of booking and we can advise if we carry the products to test for that particular thing. In some cases you may need to bring in special or odd items.
