Start Quiz

How would you describe your asthma?(Required)

Mild (doesn’t affect me often)

Moderate (affects me sometimes)

Severe (affects me often or badly)

Have you been referred to or seen a respiratory specialist?(Required)

Yes

IMPORTANT

If you have severe asthma and/or have had two or more severe asthma attacks in the past 12 months despite taking two or more asthma medicines, you should be referred to a respiratory specialist.

Book an asthma review with your doctor to start the referral process.

Have you had additional testing to understand your asthma type and triggers?(Required)

Yes - spirometry and blood tests

Yes - specialist tests such as oscillometry (FOT), FeNO, cardio-pulmonary exercise testing

Unsure

IMPORTANT

Without a precise diagnosis and knowing your phenotype, a specialist can’t begin the process of precision treatment with biologic medicines.

Urgently see your doctor or specialist for an asthma review to begin the process now.

IMPORTANT

To be prescribed a precision severe asthma treatment called a ‘biologic’ you need to find out your asthma phenotype. This testing is usually ordered by an asthma specialist. If you weren’t eligible in the past, you may now be eligible for biologics that have since been added to the PBS.

Urgently see your doctor or specialist for an asthma review to begin the process now.

Has your specialist discussed your treatable traits with you?(Required)

Yes

Unsure

IMPORTANT

The Treatable Traits approach is a modern, personalised way to manage asthma by identifying the specific factors that worsen your symptoms—such as smoking, obesity, systemic inflammation, breathing pattern disorder, or conditions that mimic asthma like Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction.

Instead of treating “asthma” as one problem, this model targets each trait individually for better control, fewer flare ups, and reduced need for oral steroids.

How many blue reliever inhalers do you use in a year?(Required)

1 or 2

3-11

12+

I use an anti-inflammatory reliever instead (often pink, red, or red+white)

I don't have a reliever inhaler

DID YOU KNOW...

Using more than two blue inhalers a year is a warning sign that your asthma may not be well managed.

IMPORTANT

Three or more blue reliever inhalers per year is associated with increased risk of asthma flare-ups and attacks.

Urgently see your doctor for an asthma review.

YOU ARE AT RISK

Using 12 or more blue reliever inhalers each year is a warning sign that your asthma may not be well controlled and is linked to an increased risk of severe asthma attacks and death.

Urgently see your doctor for an asthma review.

IMPORTANT

Everyone with asthma needs a reliever to use when asthma symptoms occur. This is your emergency inhaler for if you have an asthma attack. Urgently see your doctor for an asthma review.

How many times have you had an asthma attack in the past year?(Required)

2 or more

Unsure

How many times have you needed oral steroids (e.g. prednisolone, prednisone, dexamethasone) in the past year?(Required)

2 or more

Unsure

IMPORTANT YOU MAY BE AT RISK

If you have had two or more asthma attacks, or needed two or more courses of oral steroids, despite already using a preventer or anti-inflammatory inhaler, it’s time to take action.
