SURF LIFE SAVING AUSTRALIA POLICY STATEMENT INTRODUCTION Asthma is a common condition in Australia, affecting 12.8% of the population1. It is more common in school aged children than adults2. Currently there is no cure for asthma but in the majority of cases it can be well controlled so that the person with asthma has no limitations in their life. There are many examples of stat
