First Nations
outreach

At Respiratory Care WA, we work alongside First Nations communities and partner organisations across Western Australia to support better respiratory health and wellbeing.

Through our community outreach programs, we help provide accessible and culturally safe spaces for:

  • respiratory education
  • lung health checks,
  • support and care to help people better understand and manage their respiratory conditions with confidence.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experience higher rates of chronic respiratory conditions than non-Indigenous Australians, highlighting the importance of accessible care, early support and strong community partnerships to help people stay healthy and connected to community.

Our Partners

We are proud to work alongside organisations committed to improving access to healthcare for First Nations peoples across Western Australia.

Together, we help provide free respiratory health services, including lung health checks, education and support to help people better understand and manage their respiratory conditions with confidence.

Through these partnerships, we aim to improve respiratory health outcomes and support healthier, stronger communities.

Our partners include:

  • 360 Health + Community (Street Doctor)
  • Arche Health
  • Binar Futures
  • Derbarl Yerrigan Health Service
  • Great Southern Aboriginal Health Service
  • Moorditj Koort Aboriginal Health Services
  • Pramana Medical Centre
  • South West Aboriginal Medical Service

Our impact

Geoffrey (73), a proud Noongar Man, has lived with asthma since childhood and now manages emphysema, a chronic lung condition that makes breathing challenging. With support from Respiratory Care WA and Arche Health, he’s learning new ways to manage his breathing and stay active in his community.
