New Respiratory health resources for people who use drugs

 Your Respiratory Health Matters! is a project funded by the Department of Health. The project aims to increase awareness of the impacts of respiratory illnesses for people who use drugs, and support service providers understand and respond to client’s needs.  

Common respiratory conditions include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia. Progression of these illnesses can be prevented by early detection and management.  

The new webpage includes information on respiratory health, prevention, and management, as well as downloadable resources such as postcards and social media tiles which can be used by your ACCHO and available through this link.
