Give Little Lungs a Chance

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

Ballardong Noongar brother and sister, Kayden (4) and Maddie (7), both experienced breathing difficulties from a very young age. Often they were too unwell to fully enjoy school, daycare and time with friends. Frequent hospital visits, steroids and sleepless nights became part of family life. Everything changed after attending a free outreach clinic through Respiratory Care WA and Arche Health, where the family finally received the education, support and clear diagnosis they had been missing.

Through the support of the Western Australian community, Kayden and Maddie are breathing easier, sleeping better and simply enjoying being kids again.

Why accurate diagnosis matters

Asthma is a leading cause of disease burden in children aged 5–14.

Too many families still miss out on the right diagnosis, education, support and treatment plans to manage asthma well, with access to care often a major barrier.

At Respiratory Care WA, we’re working to change this through community outreach, education and accessible respiratory care that helps break down barriers to support.

Our goal is to reach more Western Australians with the care, treatment and confidence they need to better manage asthma and other respiratory conditions, so children and families can breathe easier and live healthier lives.
