What we do
Asthma New Zealand is here to help all kiwis breathe easy
Our nurse and respiratory educators are qualified and experienced health professionals, specialising in the treatment of Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
We know that sometimes, it’s not easy to get the personalised support you need.
We are proud to offer free appointments to anyone with Asthma and COPD in North Auckland, Central Auckland, West Auckland, Wellington, and Hutt Valley, or nationally via Telehealth, with no GP referral needed. These appointments are made possible by the generous support of our funders, donors and partners. Patients can self-refer to us, or be referred by a health professional.
