Lung Foundation Australia wants to ensure lung health is a priority for all Australians

A small health check could make a big difference 🫁

Many people put a persistent cough down to ageing, allergies or a lingering cold. But a cough that won't go away shouldn't be ignored.

The Lung Health Checklist is a simple way to learn more about your symptoms and whether you should speak with your healthcare professional.

Your lungs work hard for you every day so take a moment to check in on them.

Everyone should be able to access health information in a way that meets their needs.

In partnership with Lived Experience Australia and Equally Well Au, and funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, we've developed a suite of tailored lung cancer screening resources for people experiencing mental health challenges.

The resources have been informed by lived experience and recognise that people may engage with healthcare services differently throughout their lives. They are designed to support informed decision-making and help people better understand The National Lung Cancer Screening Program.

Resources are available now, with videos currently in development.

The National Lung Cancer Screening Program is an Australian Government program.

Exercise can play an important role in managing a lung condition or lung cancer.

Regular exercise can help reduce breathlessness, build strength, improve mood and make everyday activities easier.

If you're unsure how to start, speak with a healthcare professional, physiotherapist or exercise physiologist. They can help you find the right approach to staying active, which may include pulmonary rehabilitation.

Quitting smoking or va**ng isn't always easy, but Australians agree that people should have access to the support they need to succeed.

Meet Anne, Anita, Stacey, Claire and Joan – our wonderful Brisbane Community Hosts, helping create a special evening of remembrance, connection and hope this November.

For Anne, who has been living with lung cancer since 2020, Shine a Light is deeply personal. “It is a safe space for everyone to feel supported and truly know that they are not alone.”

"I shine a light on lung cancer because...anyone with lungs can get lung cancer!" - Stacey

"It’s an opportunity for us to raise our lanterns in hope and memory. A time to reflect on the past, present and future." - Anita

Whether you're walking in memory of someone special, living with lung cancer or showing your support, there's a place for you.

Today, Lung Cancer Awareness Month begins – and across Australia, we're ready to Shine a Light ✨

Throughout November, communities will raise their lanterns in remembrance, support and solidarity.

Some will be attending for the first time. Others will return with the same family and friends who have walked beside them for years.

All will be part of something bigger.

There's still time to join us. If you can’t join a walk, there’s still ways to get involved, start your own fundraiser, share our resources. Together, we can make sure that no faces lung cancer alone.

🫁 This PCD Awareness Month, we recognise people living with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), and the families and communities who support them.

PCD is a rare inherited condition that affects cilia, including the tiny structures that help keep the airways clear.

Lung Foundation Australia is proud to partner with PCD Australia over the next three years. As two peak bodies working collaboratively for lung health, we’ll support research and fund early-career grants.

We look forward to working together to raise awareness of PCD and the needs of people living with the condition.

It was a privilege for Lung Foundation Australia CEO, Mark Brooke, to join the Governor-General during a visit to HEART9, Heart of Australia's newest mobile CT clinic.

As Patron of Lung Foundation Australia, the Governor-General of Australia learned more about the vital role mobile healthcare is playing in improving access to specialist services and supporting the delivery of The National Lung Cancer Screening Program, particularly for rural, remote and First Nations communities.

Heart of Australia's innovative mobile CT technology is helping bring potentially life-saving lung cancer screening closer to home for Australians who might otherwise face significant barriers to care.

We're proud to work alongside partners who share our commitment to improving lung health outcomes and reducing inequities in access to healthcare across Australia.

New 2025 mortality data highlights the ongoing impact of lung disease in Australia.

Lung cancer and chronic lower respiratory diseases, including COPD, asthma and bronchiectasis, remained among Australia's five leading causes of death, accounting for around 18,000 deaths in 2025.

The burden is not felt equally, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and regional and remote communities continuing to experience a disproportionate impact.

Behind every statistic is a person, a family and a community affected by lung disease.

Public health outcomes should be at the centre of decisions about to***co and va**ng.

That's why this finding matters: 83% of respondents believe to***co and va**ng companies should not influence public policy.

The result reflects strong community support for evidence-based decision-making and policies that prioritise the health and wellbeing of Australians.
