Community Involvement

Asthma Foundations Australia

 Asthma Foundations Australia is an association of all the Asthma Foundations throughout Australia. Asthma Foundations Australia aims to eliminate asthma as a major cause of ill health and disruption within the community.
The Asthma Foundations exist to provide asthma education, information, research, community advocacy and support to people with asthma and their carers.

In 2007: GSK provided $5,000 to facilitate a non partisan Friends of Asthma Support Group which covers all key stakeholders in asthma including the foundations, National Asthma Council and researchers. The support group provide the opportunity to keep members of parliament appraised of key issues in asthma. The group meets twice a year and members are kept up to date with an electronic newsletter which highlights major milestones such as National Asthma Day and key research findings.
