Summer Fun & Asthma

Summer holidays are a great time to relax and have fun. We know you want your child to have a happy, healthy start to their next school year! Looking after your child's asthma over the holidays can mean less time off school when kids return in the new year, and less time off work for you. 

Here are some tips: 

• Keep using your child’s preventer medicine as directed over the summer holidays. Check your child’s medicines and puffers to make sure they’re still in date. 
• If you’re leaving the house or going away, make sure you pack your child’s asthma medicine(s) and their spacer. 
• Before the new school year starts, make a booking with the doctor to check your child's Asthma Action Plan. You'll need this for Term 1, 2025. Book in early as doctors can have limited appointments over the Christmas period. 
• Use helpful resources: Asthma Australia has a checklist that can help you prepare for school
