Asthma Week 2026: Asthma and Women

Asthma Australia’s Asthma Week 2026: 1 – 7 September

1 in 5 Australian women live with asthma, and women are twice as likely to die from asthma as men.  

This Asthma Week, we’re shining a light on women and asthma, and how from childhood through to older age, hormonal shifts across the life course, can change how asthma affects women.    

We’ll feature real stories of women living with asthma and seek the insights and experiences of women by asking questions about their asthma. 

If you’d like to receive a communications pack to help amplify this year’s Asthma Week, please complete the registration form below and a pack will be sent to you in mid-August.
