Asthma Management Handbook

The Asthma Management Handbook 2006, the Australian national asthma treatment guidelines, is our flagship publication and forms the foundation of all our resources.

First published in 1989 and now in its sixth edition, the Asthma Management Handbook continues to set the standard for best-practice asthma management in Australia.

The Asthma Management Handbook aims to be both comprehensive and user-friendly. While written primarily for general practitioners and community pharmacists, the Handbook emphasises a team approach to asthma care.
