Support

Local contacts

  • can usually answer some questions about Failsafe
  • provide information about Failsafe-friendly dietitians and health professionals
  • provide information about local Failsafe foods
  • most have brochures and a copy of the DVD to lend out
  • some also run local support groups

If emailing a support person, please put the word ‘failsafe’ in the subject line (eg failsafe help with eczema) to help them with spam!!!

Sue Dengate’s contact details for media but not general support are here.

Please contact confoodnet@ozemail.com.au if you are willing to help with Failsafe support or to correct this list.
