Lung Foundation Australia are pleased to share our priorities for the NSW election to support and care for those living with lung disease and lung cancer and champion lung health for all.
Lung disease and lung cancer are responsible for a considerable burden of death and disease. NSW residents living with these conditions need tailored information and support to ensure improved self-management of their condition, improved health outcomes, and improved workforce participation. When compounding the potential ongoing respiratory impacts from long-COVID, and the immense strain the hospital system is under, the need to adopt and implement policies and programs that will protect the lung health of all NSW residents is evident.
