2022 Federal Election priorities

Stronger lung health

What does your lung health mean to you? More time with family, the chance to keep doing the things you love? 1 in 3 Australians are affected by lung disease or lung cancer and many more are now facing the long-term impacts of COVID-19. We’re calling on the Federal Government to make the lung health of all Australians a priority.
