1 in 3 Australians will face a lung disease. The impact extends far beyond the physical. 

People living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are 10 times more likely to face panic disorders. 50% of lung cancer patients grapple with distress, anxiety and/or depression.

Patients across all lung diseases tell us they feel isolated, afraid, and reluctant to open up to loved ones for fear of burdening them.

But our peer support networks are a lifeline. Here anyone impacted by a lung disease can find understanding, camaraderie and practical assistance. 

Along with improved mental wellbeing peer support members report: 

Improvement in social participation

Increased confidence to manage their condition

Greater involvement in their health care choices.

Lynne's story

Our peer support network today

Online

18 condition-specific or carer-based support groups available nationwide.

Face-to-face

42 groups with more than 600 members throughout Australia.

One-to-one

300 patients with the same lung condition connected via our telephone-based support.

We urgently need to expand the network to ensure every Australian impacted by lung disease or lung cancer can access the life-changing support that our communities provide.
