Our ability to keep making a difference and improving lung health for everyone is only possible because of your generous support. Every little bit helps, from dedicated funds, donations or time volunteered.
Every contribution you make supports our mission have a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of thousands of Australians.
Your donation, no matter how big or small, helps us to support better lung health for all Australians, especially those living with or impacted by lung disease and lung cancer. Look at the difference we’ve already made together in 2026.
invested in new research grants, fellowships, awards and partnerships across 15 lung health research institutes
The National Lung Cancer Screening Program began in July 2025, creating an opportunity to detect lung cancer earlier. In its first year, more than 100,000 Australians were screened. We worked with government, health services and equity partners to help make the program accessible and responsive to community needs.
When people have questions about lung disease or lung cancer, timely support can help them understand their options and next steps. Across the Lung Health Helpline and Lung Cancer Screening Helpline, our teams supported more than 8,352 interactions and enquiries.
Research can lead to better understanding, care and treatment. This year, we invested $4.2 million in new grants, fellowships, awards and partnerships across 15 lung health research institutions. We also work with people with living experience so their perspectives can inform research priorities and outcomes.
Research can help turn unanswered questions into better understanding and, over time, better care. Community support helped Michelle and Rachel create a lasting contribution to research into ROS1-positive lung cancer.
After their mother, Kha Kiang Khoo, passed away from the rare cancer, the sisters raised $15,000 with family and friends. Lung Foundation Australia contributed a further $5,000 to establish the Kha Kiang Khoo Memorial Research Grant. The grant supported research led by Dr Malinda Itchins, with findings now published to add to the evidence on treatment and survival for people with ROS1-positive lung cancer.
For Michelle and Rachel, seeing their mother’s name connected to the research is a meaningful way to honour her and contribute to knowledge that may help inform future care.
“We hope the efforts of mum’s research grant is a step towards saving other families from the pain we’ve endured.”
Louise has been living with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) for many years and has been an active member of the LAM Australia community. In February 2026, LAM Australia joined Lung Foundation Australia, bringing together its peer network, consumer leadership and research partnerships into a national lung health organisation. The partnership gives people affected by LAM a stronger national voice and more opportunities to shape support, research and advocacy.
“Being part of the Lung Foundation Australia community means greater access to resources, integrated support, research advancement, and advocacy.”
“Without a second thought I would recommend this service. The treatment is a journey to be faced and dealt with one day at a time.”
“By investing in research, we’re not only working toward better treatments and cures, but also improving early detection, which can save lives.”
“They talked me through a whole list of things that I could do to control my symptoms and gave me tips for the next time I saw my doctor.”

None of this would be possible without your incredible support and generosity. Every donation, hour volunteered or shared experience directly shapes the lives of thousands of Australians living with lung disease and lung cancer.
Because of you, we’re driving groundbreaking advances in research, providing essential support to those who need it most, and championing policy changes that protect lung health for the future. We are truly thankful for your belief in what we do and your ongoing support.
