Who are we
What we are up against
Since 1990, as Australia’s leading lung health body, Lung Foundation Australia has been committed to improving the lives of Australians living with or impacted by lung disease and lung cancer. We enable life-saving research, and champion programs and services to support Australians with lung disease and lung cancer to live their best life.
HOPE THROUGH RESEARCH
Give hope today
We are proud to launch the Hope Research Fund, with the powerful pledge to raise $50 million by 2030 to fund life-changing advancements in lung disease and lung cancer research. With 45 Australian families losing a loved one to lung conditions every day, research is more important than ever. With your help, we can provide hope that has never existed before.
