Hold a Free Dress Day for Asthma

Support Kids living with asthma across Australia.

About 386,000 children under the age of 15 have asthma. That's 1 in 10 boys and 1 in 16 girls who are living with asthma in Australia.

You or someone you know has asthma at your school. Let's make 2025 the year we all show we care and make a real difference in someone's life.

Host a free dress day at your school on WORLD ASTHMA DAY in May or a day of your choosing. Imagine wearing your favourite super hero costume or dress up like someone you admire. 

Its fun and you can build awareness and raise crucial funds to help support kids living with asthma.
