Melanie Funk, a Human Resources professional, gained firsthand insight into the challenges of chronic eczema with the birth of her twin boys in 2009. This experience motivated her to establish Eczema Support Australia in 2015. As the Managing Director and EUPATI Fellow (expert patient), Melanie leads a team dedicated to providing practical support for Australians affected by eczema, emphasising connection, advocacy, and information.
Dr Caroline West and Dr Li Chuen-Wong lead an expert panel to discuss how health professionals can overcome challenges in improving quality of life for patients living with eczema.
