Asthma-camp battle BY SARAH SCULLY
W
immera Asthma Camp organisers have vowed to fight to keep the state’s only asthma camp for primary schoolaged children up and running after Asthma Australia announced it was pulling its support.
A committee of volunteers has hosted the annual event for youth aged six to 12 at Halls Gap each spring since the early 1990s. Long-time camp volunteer and respiratory nurse educator Heather Macdonald said a lack of funding and clinical support left the committee members with no choice but to enter the camp into recess for 2018.
“We’re very disappointed but given the circumstances we know we won’t be able to run the camp this October,” she said. “The decision was unanimous to continue to work towards bringing back the camp next year. “We are determined not to let it fold and will keep working towards sourcing funding, insurance and clinical governance.” The annual Wimmera camp has educated between 20 and 35 children with asthma – and their families – from across the Wimmera and the wider state for more than 25 years. “The camps started under the guidance and support of Asthma Founda-
tion Victoria with the aim to provide children and their families with a sound education of asthma, including its symptoms and management of exacerbations,” Ms Macdonald said. “The Wimmera Asthma Camp used to be one of many across Victoria, but for the past 10 years, it has been the only one still running.” Ms Macdonald said until this year, Asthma Foundation Victoria had supported the camp financially and through clinical governance. The change in circumstances follows a merger between Asthma foundations of Victoria, ACT, NSW, South Australia and Queensland in October last year to become Asthma Australia Ltd.
Ms Macdonald said a representative from Asthma Australia’s Victoria office contacted the Wimmera committee to discuss how the merger would affect the Wimmera camp. She said the committee answered specific questions about the camp, its staff, education and purpose before several members met with Asthma Australia leaders to further discuss the event, along with alternative options. “Some of these alternatives were a weekly group, or use of Asthma Australia Ltd’s online education and support,” Ms Macdonald said. “Due to the distance many of our campers come to attend the annual
camp, a weekly group would exclude many previous and potential children attending. “Due to the vagarity of rural digital and internet connections, online applications might also be difficult to use on a regular basis, and cannot replace face-to-face education and support, local knowledge of environmental conditions and available local services.” Ms Macdonald said the committee was extremely disappointed to receive an email from Asthma Australia Ltd stating the organisation would no longer provide financial support or clinical governance for the camp.
