About us

Lung Foundation Australia is the leading charity and health peak body for lung health in Australia. For more than 30 years, we have championed and funded life-changing research and delivered support services that give hope to people living with lung disease or lung cancer, so that they can live their best life. 

Today, we continue our work to ensure lung health is a priority for all, playing a pivotal role in advocating for:

  •  better lung health and earlier diagnosis
  • driving policy changes that reflect our communities’ needs
  • raising awareness about the symptoms and prevalence of lung disease, and
  • championing equitable access to treatment and care.

Lung disease affects us all

Think of three of your closest loved ones or friends. One of them is likely to be affected by lung disease in their lifetime. From occupational lung diseases like silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) to bronchiectasis,  there are more than 30 different lung diseases impacting men, women and children across Australia. And, while for many of them there is no cure, there are preventative-measures, education and research-led advances in treatment that can be made possible thanks to our communities’ ongoing support.  

Lung disease and lung cancer remain Australia’s second leading cause of death and receive less publicity, funding, research and support than other cancers. Lung Foundation Australia remains committed to support all Australians living with, or at risk of, lung disease. 

Join us in our mission to make lung disease a national health priority.
