TAMS
The Australasian Mastocytosis Society (TAMS) provides advocacy, education and support body for those throughout Australasia who suffer from or care for those with Mastocytosis or mast cell diseases including Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia (HaT).
TAMS was established due to the overwhelming need for sufferers and their supporters to find a local voice and active support network.
TAMS is an independent ‘not for profit’ incorporated organisation with a committed and functional volunteer committee of individuals – all of whom are sufferers or carers – ensuring your needs will be met. Meet the TAMS committee
TAMS’ three founding members are David Mayne, Claire Ellis and Kristin Sinclair, who in 2011-12 acted upon their desire for support, education, research and advocacy within Australasia for mastocytosis (and later mast cell activation disorder) patients, and established TAMS.
