National Asthma Week
1 to 7 September 2026
Communities across WA are invited to go bold, get creative — and Do Blue. Do You!
With around 1 in 9 Australians living with asthma, it’s time to raise awareness and start real conversations. Whether it’s blue outfits, bake sales, or art displays. Show how you Do Blue and support a cause that matters. Every dollar raised helps Respiratory Care WA deliver free asthma diagnosis, treatment, education, and support.
