National Asthma Council (NAC) Partnership

In 1999 Dunlop Living and Dunlop Foams formed a corporate partnership with the National Asthma Foundation (NACA) of Australia and its Sensitive Choice "Blue Butterfly" program.

The National Asthma Council (NACA) of Australia is a non-profit body which services the community by creating awareness and providing information about Asthma. The mission of the NACA is to bring together all forms of endeavour in the field of asthma and associated conditions in order to improve the quality of life and health outcomes of people with asthma and their carers.

In addition to displaying the NACA logo on our products, Dunlop Living is also increasing asthma awareness by providing a brochure that provides information about the connection between asthma, allergies and dust mites. This brochure is distributed throughretail stores around Australia. To find out more, refer to attached PDF.

The mission of the NAC is to bring together all forms of endeavour in the field of asthma in order to:

• improve the quality of life and health outcomes of people with asthma and their carers;
• reduce the social and economic impact of asthma on the community;
• reduce the prevalence of asthma in the Australian community.

The business of the NAC is:

• providing the latest information on asthma to health professionals directed at improving their quality of care;
• conducting and evaluating the delivery of national public awareness and education campaigns;
• being the national communicating authority on asthma;
• gathering, refining and disseminating information on asthma;
• taking on the role of a catalyst for change to facilitate improvement in the standards of asthma care and management.
