CRF Position Statement on Oats
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010CRF Launches children’s DVD
Thursday, July 8th, 2010
The CRF has launched a DVD for children which explains in simple language what coeliac disease is, who is involved during the diagnosis process, what to expect during diagnosis and managing coeliac disease with a gluten free diet. The DVD targets children from the age of 8 upwards and it is hoped, that by understanding their condition, children will become their own best little experts on coeliac disease.
The DVD is an informative tool for GPs and paediatricians as well as providing an easily understood explanation of coeliac disease for family, classmates and friends.
Thank you to those who made the developent of the CD possible, the Zig Inge Foundation, Nexpep, Associate Professor Don Cameron, Avril Brereton and Graham Cumming Multi Media.

Coeliac Disease Matters - Four Educational Outreach Programs Planned
We extend our gratitude to the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust for their support of our planned Educational Outreach Programs in collaboration with The Coeliac Society Victoria.
Recognising the need to develop a high calibre educational outreach program to disseminate key, up-to-date messages about coeliac disease, the CRF and CSVic have combined to ensure delivery of four educational programs each comprising a general public session and one designed for GPs and allied health professionals. Programs will be delivered in the western suburbs, eastern suburbs, Bairnsdale and Warnambool and will form the basis of an educational model which can be delivered interstate.
Now that funding has generously been agreed by the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust, we can begin planning in earnest for this exciting new project - watch this space for upcoming dates and venues.
