“Asthma took over my day-to-day life before I even knew that’s what it was.”

That was Anthony’s experience. He just knew something didn’t feel right with his breathing, but didn’t realise it could be asthma.

It wasn’t until he attended a local community session, where Melanie from Respiratory Care WA was talking about asthma, that things started to click.

From there, he reached out to Erin, one of our friendly respiratory nurses at the Adult Respiratory Hub, and got the support he needed.

We love hearing stories like Anthony’s 💙, they show the difference community outreach can make, helping people spot problems early and take the next step to care.

Asthma can sneak up on you, even when it’s affecting your daily life.

Your workplace plays an important role in your health and wellbeing 💙

This World Day for Safety & Health at Work is a great reminder that safety isn’t just about preventing accidents; it’s also about helping everyone breathe easier.

Things like dust, poor ventilation and strong smells can trigger asthma, but with the right knowledge, simple changes can make a real difference.

Why not start a conversation at your workplace? Our free 45-minute asthma sessions help teams build the skills and confidence to create safer, more supportive environments.

🏀 Binar in Albany

This week, Melanie and Alannah travelled to Albany for the Binar Futures Basketball Tournament and Health Embassy, connecting with nearly 500 First Nations young people and their families.

Across two days, we yarned about asthma, how it affects the body and the blue puffer they might see on or off the court.

Our interactive displays sparked many great conversations about common triggers at home and school, and how to manage asthma around exercise – with many participants showing strong existing knowledge.

A highlight was reconnecting with Jaycee and her mum following their recent Street Doctor clinic visit, a reminder of the importance of accessible care close to home.

Together with other health services organisations delivering vital checks, the Health Embassy helped connect communities with information, support and referral pathways for ongoing care.

Huge thanks to Binar Futures and everyone who stopped by 💙

Respiratory Care WA is proud to be named a 2026 Telethon7 Perth beneficiary, supporting our Children’s Respiratory Hubs 💙

Demand for our services is growing rapidly. In just 20 months, we’ve received as many new referrals as we did in the previous four years, a clear sign that many WA children with asthma and other respiratory conditions still need support.

In the first half of 2025 alone, our team delivered over 2,200 occasions of service, helping children breathe easier and giving parents peace of mind.

Families like Joe and Tammie’s remind us why this work matters. As Joe shared, “I feel safer now that my asthma is controlled. I don’t feel so breathless after exercise – I can even run cross country at school.”

With the right care, children can feel confident, active and ready to take on life.
