I am from a school

In the last 60 years, we have educated thousands of coaches and physical education teachers on asthma management in sports through our Activ8 program and upskilled more than 150,000 teachers.

Having the right information about your respiratory condition including what to do in a flare-up can save a life.

If you are a teacher, carer or parent, we can help you create a safe environment for students with asthma. Understanding more about asthma and what to do in the event of an asthma flare-up could save a student’s life.

Respiratory Care WA provides in-person professional development training for Perth metropolitan school staff and online training sessions. Sessions take approximately one hour and include:

  • Physiology of asthma, medications and devices
  • Triggers in the school environment, focussing on exercise-induced asthma
  • How to recognise an asthma flare-up
  • Asthma first aid and how to manage an emergency

Our respiratory health team are available to speak to your students and other community groups upon request.

Please reach out to our team to discuss.

We also have a free Asthma-Ready Classroom Checklist so that you can create a safe and comfortable environment for learning.

Bust Out In Blue

Bust Out In Blue is a school initiative aimed at reducing the stigma, increasing asthma education and keeping everyone safe by asking students and teachers to “Bust out in Blue” and wear blue.

We want to help teach children to be inclusive and look after their classmates and friends with asthma.
