Asthma Foundation Northern Territory

Provides advice, information and training on asthma to the public, health professionals and other interested groups in regards to Asthma treatment and prevention.

Also holds an Asthma Swim Program. The Asthma Swim Program is unique to the Territory and run by Asthma Foundation NT that aims to provide a lifetime benefit for all participants. This program provides an opportunity for children with asthma to participate in regular physical activity while their families receive support in asthma management.

An asthma educator attends the swim classes each week to provide support and answer questions for parents/carers in a relaxed informal setting. This encourages the development of a relationship with the participating families so that they feel comfortable in discussing asthma management strategies while their children are swimming.
