Welcome to your Asthma Toolkit
At Asthma Australia, we know that asthma is complex – it is different for each person – and we want to give you the tools to better manage your asthma or the asthma in someone you care for.
Where do I start? Here is a handy list for you to go through:
- Download an Asthma Action Plan and share it with your doctor to complete or update
- Visit your Asthma Library below
- Download the online Asthma Control Test and find out your asthma score, share this with your doctor
- Watch our tutorial and technique videos
YOUR WRITTEN ASTHMA ACTION PLAN
Everyone should have a written Asthma Action Plan. An action plan can help you manage your asthma every day and help you to recognise when your asthma is getting worse. Your doctor can complete or update your written Asthma Action Plan to ensure your asthma is controlled.

WHAT’S YOUR ASTHMA SCORE?
You can take the Asthma Control Test to work out your asthma score or level of asthma control. Even if you think your asthma is under control, knowing your Asthma Score is important and can help your doctor determine how to best manage your asthma.
