In May 2007, The Australian Lung Foundation carried out a survey of the approximately 160 pulmonary rehabilitation programs that is has on its books. The purpose of the survey was to gather national information on:

• Availability of pulmonary rehabilitation and maintenance programs

• Waiting lists to access pulmonary rehabilitation

• Barriers experienced in running or establishing pulmonary rehabilitation

• Funding mechanisms

• Areas where The Australian Lung Foundation could assist

A copy of the final report of the survey summarises the key findings.
