Asthma is a respiratory condition that affects nearly 2.8 million Australians, with children being the most impacted. Asthma is responsible for at least one Australian death every day and contributes to about 33,000 hospitalisations annually.

Despite the prevalence of asthma, it is often misunderstood, causing fear and anxiety for those living with the condition.

However, there is hope. Asthma Australia has been the leading charity for people with asthma and their communities for over 60 years.

As we head into to the 2026 spring pollen season, Asthma Australia is excited to have re-partnered with AirHealth, to help people with asthma and allergies breathe easier.

Asthma Australia CEO, Ms Kate Miranda, said, “We know environmental triggers like pollen, pollution and thunderstorm asthma events can escalate quickly. Too often, people are reacting when symptoms have already worsened. This partnership is about shifting that and giving people the information they need to manage their asthma proactively”.

This continued partnership combines AirHealth’s air quality forecasting expertise with Asthma Australia’s trusted communication channels to deliver timely, localised health alerts. These alerts may help people better manage their asthma by staying informed about major environmental triggers such as pollen and thunderstorm asthma events — helping to reduce risk and prevent avoidable hospitalisations.
