Asthma First Aid Posters
Be prepared to respond confidently in an asthma emergency with Asthma Australia’s Asthma First Aid Poster. Available in both A4 and A3 sizes, this easy-to-follow poster provides the nationally recognised Asthma First Aid steps in a clear, visual format that can be quickly referenced when needed.
Ideal for displaying in medical practices, clinic treatment rooms, waiting areas, pharmacies, schools, workplaces, community settings, and even at home, the poster serves as a practical reminder of the steps to take when someone is experiencing asthma symptoms or an asthma attack.
A valuable resource for healthcare professionals, patients, families and carers, the Asthma First Aid Poster helps promote asthma awareness, preparedness and timely action when every minute counts.
Asthma Action Plans
Support best-practice asthma care with Asthma Australia’s Asthma Action Plan Templates. Designed for use during asthma reviews, consultations and routine check-ins, these templates help healthcare professionals work collaboratively with patients to create a personalised plan for managing their asthma.
Asthma Action Plans are a proven tool for improving patient outcomes. They help patients recognise worsening symptoms early, understand when and how to adjust their medication, and know when to seek medical assistance. By providing clear, tailored instructions, Asthma Action Plans can improve self-management, increase treatment adherence, reduce the risk of asthma flare-ups, and support more confident day-to-day asthma control.
A practical resource for general practice, pharmacy and respiratory care settings, these templates make it easier to deliver consistent asthma education while empowering patients to take an active role in their asthma management.
Asthma Week 2026
Help raise awareness of how asthma can change throughout a woman’s life.
This Asthma Week, Asthma Australia is shining a spotlight on the unique ways asthma can be affected by hormonal and life stage changes, including puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause. As a trusted healthcare professional, you can play an important role in helping women understand these changes and recognise when their asthma may need review or additional support.
Download our free Asthma Week campaign assets and help spread the message throughout your clinic, practice and waiting areas. The pack includes ready-to-use posters, social media graphics, newsletter content, email signatures and more, making it easy to educate patients, start conversations and encourage proactive asthma management.
Together, we can help more women recognise the signs of changing asthma and access the support they need.
With the recent release of the revised Australian Asthma Handbook (v 3.0), Asthma Australia is reviewing and updating our suite of resources so not all resource titles are available to order in print at this time. You can still access digital versions from our Resource Library.
These materials are developed in response to requests from healthcare professionals and consumers, and the content is informed by input from people with lived experience of asthma. Selected resources are printed, and copies are available to you to order, at no charge, thanks to support from state/territory and federal Government funding.
