Our team is still buzzing after Binar at Bendat! 🏀

Over two incredible, jam-packed days, we connected with around 600 young participants and their families from across WA to yarn about asthma including symptoms, common triggers, medications and how to support people living with lung conditions on and off the court.

This Binar Futures Basketball Tournament and Health Embassy event took on even greater significance, coinciding with the end of NAIDOC Week - a time to celebrate the culture, achievements and strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year’s theme, ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’, resonated throughout the event. From Nyungar Yorga Robyn Collard’s moving Welcome to Country - joined by her grandsons on didgeridoo and tapping sticks - to the many First Nations youth who played basketball with passion, pride and respect.

We were privileged to meet so many inspiring young leaders, students and carers who are supporting people living with asthma, COPD and other lung conditions every day. Their care and determination are helping to build stronger, healthier futures.

We also enjoyed connecting with WA Premier Roger Cook and Jessica Stojkovski MLA, who stopped by the Health Embassy on the second day.

A huge congratulations to Binar Futures and Basketball WA for delivering such an outstanding event!

Meet Aiden - a determined young swimmer with big dreams! 🏊‍♂️💙

Before visiting Respiratory Care WA, Aiden found himself struggling to breathe during swimming training and had to stop often just to catch his breath.

Worried, his family took him to their GP, who referred them to the Children’s Respiratory Hub for in depth asthma education and lung function testing. Aiden was provided crucial insights into his lung tests and provided a tailored treatment plan.

Now? He’s back in the pool, swimming over 5km a day, six days a week - and he’s ranked among the top eight swimmers in his age group across WA!

His mum, Renee, says the difference has been huge: “Since our visit to Respiratory Care WA, Aiden has become more confident in both his training and races. He knows exactly what steps to take before and after each session to stay on top of his asthma.”

💙 Read Aiden’s full inspiring story on our website and join us in wishing him all the best in his upcoming competitions!✨

It can be harder to stay motivated in winter - especially when you’re living with asthma or another respiratory condition.

Cold, dry air can make breathing more difficult, but staying active remains important for your lung health, energy and overall wellbeing.

Here are a few simple tips to help you keep moving safely this season:

🙆‍♀️ Warm up first: Light stretches or walking around the house can prepare your lungs and body.

🧤 Layer up: Protect yourself from the cold with a scarf and some gloves.

🌡️ Check the forecast: Be mindful of temperature drops and transitions between indoors and outdoors.

🏋️ Take it inside: Try indoor activities like swimming, yoga or home workouts on colder days.

👂Listen to your body: If you are starting to experience asthma symptoms, stop what you are doing, take your reliever medication and rest. Only return to activity if symptoms subside. If they continue, do not return to exercise for the rest of the day and follow your personal action plan.

Need extra support managing your asthma this winter? Book a free appointment with one of our Respiratory Health Educators via our website.

Thank you to the team at 7NEWS Regional WA for covering the launch of our first South West Children’s Respiratory Specialist Clinic in Australind last week, supported by Telethon7 Perth.

Supporting families in the South West 💙

Yesterday we launched our first South West Children’s Respiratory Specialist Clinic in Australind! This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without Telethon7 Perth, WA Country Health Service and our generous WA community - thank you 💛

Over two days, our respiratory health team will be supporting 11 families from across the South West, helping children get the care they need to breathe easier.

There were plenty of smiles all around, thanks to a surprise visit from our much-loved mascot Puff, who made the trip down from Perth to spread hugs and high-fives! 🥰

This year, we're aiming to deliver over 500 free lung function tests to empower kids and families in Perth and the South West with a life-changing asthma diagnosis and care plans. But we can’t do it without you.

❄️ Winter has well and truly settled in here in Boorloo - have you checked in on your lung health? 🫁

Respiratory Care WA has teamed up with Arche Health Limited's Wangen Murduin Integrated Team Care (ITC) Program, which helps improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living with chronic conditions by connecting them with culturally safe, high-quality care.

Our Community and Outreach Coordinator, Mel, recently visited Medicare Urgent Care Clinic Gosnells to support patients with respiratory conditions, provide lung function testing, and share tools and tips to help manage asthma and COPD.

💬 If you or someone you know could benefit from this kind of support, get in touch with the Wangen Murduin ITC team to find out about the next clinic.

Every breath counts. 💛

Lung Function Tests such as spirometry help us understand how well a child’s lungs are working — and for kids with asthma, that can be life-changing.

At Respiratory Care WA, our team of qualified respiratory experts guide children (5+) through the test, ask about their symptoms, and help deliver an accurate diagnosis — all in a safe, supportive space.

This year alone, we've provided free, bulk-billed tests to over 400 kids across Perth and the South West.

But demand is growing — and we need your help to reach more families.

Your donation this tax time can fund a vital Lung Function Test for a child in need.

Bridging the respiratory health gap for First Nations peoples takes more than clinical care - it starts with culturally safe, community-led partnerships. 🤝

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are:
🔹 2.2x more likely to report COPD
🔹 1.6x more likely to report asthma
than non-Indigenous Australians.

These gaps are made worse by barriers including limited access to care, low health literacy, and a lack of culturally safe services - especially for young people in regional and remote communities.

That’s why partnerships between Respiratory Care WA, Derbarl Yerrigan Health Service Aboriginal Corporation, Arche Health Limited and others are so important - creating spaces where First Nations peoples feel respected, heard, and supported.

But real, lasting change needs long-term commitment.

Together, we can close the gap and support stronger, healthier futures for all.
