Asthma WA Membership
By becoming a member of Asthma WA, you can help us help people with asthma - including you and your loved ones.
Did you know that 1 in 9 Australians have asthma?
There are some concerning asthma statistics. Someone dies every day in Australia and the vast majority of these deaths are preventable. Asthma is the leading cause for ambulance call outs for children besides trauma & the most common cause for school and work absenteeism.
Despite these statistics, asthma is still not taken seriously. People with 'mild' asthma often don’t take their daily medication, meaning they are not protected when their symptoms flare up unexpectedly. This can have serious consequences. Asthma WA is committed to changing this. We are aiming to reduce asthma hospitalisations by 50% through education and awareness building.
Your membership fee helps us to:
- Provide free individualised asthma education to people with asthma & their carers
- Reach out to vulnerable communities
- Raise awareness of asthma and preventative care
- Advocate on behalf of people with asthma
