Welcome to Asthma Auckland

Information and Support

The more you know about your asthma, the better.
Understanding what causes asthma symptoms, and how they can be avoided is the key to getting on with life. One of the best and easiest ways to stay in touch with new information is to join your local asthma society.

Helping Aucklanders with Asthma

Since 1970, Asthma Auckland has been providing education, information and support to people affected by asthma. More than 250,000 Aucklanders have asthma. We’re not only here to help them, but their families, friends, health professionals and others as well.
It’s our aim to teach people the skills of good asthma management. To do this, we mostly rely on donations and the support of our members.

Here's what we're doing for Auckland

Asthma nurse educators provide advice and assistance for people with asthma (and their families) with a telephone information service, home visits, education sessions and community health promotions. Our educators also facilitate COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) support groups who meet monthly.

Professional Training

We conduct training and education sessions for health professionals, tertiary students, community groups and organisations, students and school staff (including provision of our Asthma Emergency Kits offered to all schools in the Auckland region).

Asthma Shop

Our shop sells a range of products designed to help people manage asthma and allergies.
