You did it!
Together, we raised $162,349 to keep the Lung Health Helpline free and available for everyone who needs it.
In just 24 hours, our community came together, and thanks to the generosity of our matched donors, every dollar was doubled to reach even further.
Every year, thousands of Australians reach out when lung disease enters their lives. Some are newly diagnosed. Some are caring for someone they love. Many simply don’t know where to turn.
Because of you, they will have somewhere to go.
The Lung Health Helpline provides specialist nurse guidance, trusted information and connection — without cost and without barriers.
That changes lives.
From all of us at Lung Foundation Australia, and from every person who will find clarity, confidence and reassurance because of this incredible day — thank you.
You made this happen.
Matching is closed but your gift still changes lives.

How gift matching works
Generous major donors are backing our life-changing Lung Health Helpline by matching every gift, up to $75,000. All donations made before 9AM AEDT on 27 February will be matched until the $75,000 limit is reached.
If we reach the target before the deadline the website will be updated to reflect this.
Donations can be accepted by website and phone. To donate by phone please call 1800 654 301 and choose option 3.
