OPERATION BLUE

Help Us Help Regional & Remote Communities

"AFNT is fighting for the return of Commonwealth funding that has been cut by 80% by Asthma Australia. Critical service delivery to people affected by asthma and living outside the Greater Darwin Region is being threatened. Relying solely on telephones and computers is not enough. We need to retain a capacity for face-to-face consultations and training.” Dr Ian Crundall, AFNT Chair
