Asthma Australia’s merger story is one of many voices coming together around a shared purpose: improving the lives of people with asthma. Beginning in 2017, the merger transformed a fragmented network of state and national organisations into a more coordinated and sustainable national organisation. By integrating systems, expertise and services, the merger reduced duplication, strengthened advocacy and increased the organisation’s capacity to innovate and support people with asthma across Australia 

How did many independent asthma organisations become one coordinated national voice?  

The Asthma Australia Merger Summary shares the journey of Asthma Australia’s merger, from decades of discussion and difficult decisions to the long-term work of integrating people, programs and systems. It highlights what made change possible, what was learned and how the new organisation strengthened its ability to deliver on its purpose.
