One of the key objectives of The Australian Lung Foundation is to increase access to Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Australia. Currently there are some 200 programs across the country for the estimated 1.2 million Australians with COPD (Stage II-IV).

The Australian Lung Foundation has produced a range of resources to support existing programs and to facilitate the establishment of further pulmonary rehabilitation programs.

If you currently run a Pulmonary Rehabilitation program but have not registered your program with The Australian Lung Foundation’s pulmonary rehabilitation program database, we encourage you to contact us let us know about your program. We can support you by letting patients and referring clinicians know about your program. Contact us by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
