How it works
This Asthma Week from 1st September, join us
as we Huff & Puff against asthma.
We’re getting breathless for the people in our lives who struggle to breathe. We’re walking a mile in their shoes. You can join The Asthma Huff & Puff on your own or with a team and if you have asthma yourself we’re counting on you to be our best recruiters!
Why? 1 in 9 Australians are living with asthma. At least 1 Australian dies every day because of asthma and around 100 people are hospitalised for asthma every day. Challenge yourself physically and raise crucial funds to help them live and breathe better.

1800 ASTHMA
An information phone line that takes 20 calls a day from people with asthma and their carers supporting them with evidence-based information to improve their asthma management.
AirSmart
The Australian app for air quality. AirSmart puts all the information about the air you breathe directly into the palm of your hand.
By knowing what’s in the air, AirSmart can better protect your health and help you safely plan your day.
RESEARCH
We led a research project to identify the top 10 asthma research priorities according to people with asthma, carers, healthcare professionals and policy makers to created a National Asthma Research Agenda.
"An Asthma Educator really changed my life. I have never in my life been more well than I am now, due to that call I made to Asthma Australia. Can’t recommend them highly enough. I learned more in that 40 minute chat than I have in my lifetime."
