Support

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an evolving international health concern. Lung Foundation Australia’s COVID-19 resources will be updated with information as it becomes available.

It can make all the difference to connect with someone who understands what you are going through. Our PF Peer Connect service matches you with someone in a similar situation, supporting you to connect to each other via the telephone.

Accessing information about PF will help you to better understand your condition and take the important steps to help you live well. We have a range of resources available to support you.

Hear information, advice and support on living with PF from experienced health professionals as well as patients. You can join the webinar live from the comfort of your own home or access a recording after the event.

Support groups provide people in similar situations the opportunity to come together to support each other, share practical tips and to help break down the sense of isolation that can often be experienced. Lung Foundation Australia can help connect you to a support group.

Pulmonary rehabilitation is an exercise and education program provided by specially trained health professionals that teaches you the skills needed to manage feeling short of breath and to stay well.

Lungs in Action is a safe and enjoyable community-based exercise maintenance program empowering people with a lung disease to improve their quality of life through exercise. Classes are offered throughout Australia and are run by instructors who have been specially trained.

Palliative care professionals can support you and your family to improve your quality of life so you can live as well as you can for as long as you can. Palliative care complements your active treatments whilst also addressing your symptoms.
