An integral part of asthma management is the development of a written asthma action plan by the person with asthma and/or their carer together with their doctor.
An asthma action plan helps the person with asthma and/or their carer recognise worsening asthma and gives clear instructions on what to do in response.
Many written asthma action plans are available, as different action plans suit different people. The asthma action plan chosen should be appropriate for the person’s age, educational status, language and culture.
Visit our asthma action plan library for a range of asthma plans. Health professionals can also order free hardcopies by contacting the National Asthma Council Australia at [email protected].
Alternatively, electronic PDF versions are available in full colour, black and white or a writable PDF. An RTF version is also available here:
