Sensitive Choice
At the National Asthma Council Australia, we know that people with asthma and allergy - and their families - want good information to help them make choices which may improve their health and wellbeing.
We have developed the Sensitive Choice® program to help Australians and New Zealanders make lifestyle choices that may help them manage asthma and allergies more effectively.
Products accepted into the Sensitive Choice® program are allowed to display the Sensitive Choice® blue butterfly logo on packaging and advertising.
Manufacturers and suppliers of each product that carries the Sensitive Choice® logo are first required to prove to a panel of experts that the product is not harmful and demonstrates a potential benefit for people with asthma or allergies. Only then can the product feature the blue butterfly logo.
Sensitive Choice® program also helps to raise funds to enable the National Asthma Council Australia to continue its important work.
Our blue butterfly symbol indicates a choice that will help support better asthma and allergy care.

October 6, 2009Spring has well and truly sprung and for many, thoughts are now turning to that post-winter clean up. But, asthma sufferers be on your guard. According to the National Asthma Council Australia, over two million Australians have asthma and spring is the time of the year when asthma attacks can be more prevalent. A combination of the change in seasons and an increase in pollen in the air can trigger an asthma attack. Other common allergic triggers of asthma are house dust mites, pets and moulds. A thorough spring clean of the house will help reduce some of these allergens, but, the way in which you clean also needs to be considered.
