Give Little Lungs a Chance

Early support, diagnosis, and care can make all the difference for young children living with respiratory conditions. This Christmas, your donation can help WA kids breathe easier and get the care they need to live full, active lives.

When 8-year-old Joe first came to Respiratory Care WA, his asthma was holding him back from the sport he loved most—BMX racing. With the right care and ongoing support, Joe’s symptoms are now under control, and he’s back on the track doing what he loves with confidence.

Why accurate diagnosis matters

Asthma is a leading cause of disease burden in children aged 5–14, yet many families miss the early signs or don’t have an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

In 2022–23, around 97,000 Australians visited the emergency department with asthma—children made up nearly half of these hospitalisations.

For thousands of Western Australians, severe flare-ups can be debilitating or even life-threatening. With accurate diagnosis, treatment and the right support, children and adults can manage asthma, reduce risks, and live active, healthy lives.
