Asthma in Australia
Asthma is one of the most chronic diseases affecting Australians. It is estimated that more than 300 million people globally have asthma. In Australia, over 2 million people have asthma. This equates to approximately 1 in 10 people.

In 2009, 411 Australians died from asthma.

Effective asthma management is the key to better health and improved quality of life. Research shows that asthma is best controlled when there is an Action Plan in place and the asthma is regularly reviewed by a doctor.
