Local contacts
Support is available from local contacts in many places.
Local contacts are volunteers who
- 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 local contact, 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 in About us
Please contact confoodnet@ozemail.com.au if you are willing to help with Failsafe support or to correct this list.
