Asthma Australia

Asthma is an inflammatory condition of the airways, which restricts airflow and can be fatal. Asthma affects 1 in 9 Australians, or 2.7 million people.

We are Australia’s largest provider of person-centred education and support services for people with asthma, their families, health professionals, and the broader community. Our professionally staffed helpline and our Asthma Assist services assist over 48,000 people annually to manage their disease for improved quality of life. We find the best treatments and practices and provide education and training to make sure life with asthma is the best it can be.

We are a leading provider of evidence-based asthma training resources, educating thousands of healthcare professionals and school staff about best-practice asthma management every year.
We support innovative asthma research to find new ways to prevent, treat and manage asthma and so the information we provide to people is well-researched and evidence based.

We champion the needs of people with asthma through our advocacy. We work towards systemic change by working collaboratively with a range of stakeholders; including people with asthma and their carers, health professionals, non-government organisations, governments, researchers and industry, to achieve a better future for people with asthma
