Our strategic priorities
Promote lifelong lung health and prevent disease
We are dedicated to advancing lifelong lung health and the prevention of lung disease for all Australians at all stages of life, including the critical first 1,000 days. Lung health is essential to a healthy and productive Australia. The evidence is clear – there is much we can do to prevent lung disease and optimise lung health.
We strive to:
- Champion lifelong lung health
- Strengthen protection against respiratory infections
- Reduce tobacco vaping harm
- Improve air quality
- Promote healthy, safe workplaces

We strive to:
- Close the lung health gap
- Achieve equitable outcomes
- Ensure equitable access
- Overcome stigma
- Secure fair funding

- Increased awareness and trust
