The Mould Awareness Council (MAC) is a dedicated non-profit organisation committed to addressing the critical issues surrounding mould-related illness, while developing understanding of the causes of this problem and its health impacts.
MAC was formed by a group of passionate health and indoor environmental practitioners and patient advocates who saw that the situation regarding dampness and mould in Australia—both in terms of health services and building codes—has not been appropriately addressed by authorities.
The goals of Mould Awareness Council are:
- To support and guide comprehensive studies on dampness and mould, focussing on its health impacts and implications for building design. MAC’s goal is to contribute to a safer and healthier environment for everyone.
- To educate and engage various stakeholders, including building professionals and medical practitioners, about the risks and consequences of dampness and mould exposure. By fostering a community of informed advocates, MAC aims to drive meaningful change.
- To offer essential resources and support for those affected by mould-related illnesses, whether localized or systemic, acute or chronic. MAC aims to empower practitioners and individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate and overcome mould-related challenges.
- To strive to provide much-needed credibility to the area of dampness and mould and its connections with health problems, to assist with the general perception of mould-related illnesses in the community.
MAC’s initial plans are to provide regular webinars as well as publish regular content on our website to assist with promoting the above goals.
