A cough lasting more than 8 weeks in adults or 4 weeks in children is considered a chronic cough.

Chronic cough can have different causes and may be associated with conditions such as asthma, sinusitis, gastro-oesophageal reflux and eosinophilic bronchitis. For some people, it persists even after underlying conditions have been investigated and treated.

Recognising chronic cough and its impact can help improve understanding, diagnosis and care.

As a member of the Global Allergy & Airways Patient Platform (GAAPP), ausEE supports this year's World Chronic Cough Day campaign.

This week is National Carers Week (11–17 October 2026), a time to recognise and celebrate the more than 3 million Australians who provide unpaid care to a family member or friend.

This year’s theme, ‘Care for a carer: Making carers visible,’ shines a light on the invaluable contribution of unpaid carers and encourages all Australians to recognise, support and care for the carers in their families, workplaces and communities.

Many people in the ausEE community provide care for a family member or loved one. As an organisation made up of people with lived experience, including carers, we recognise these carers and the importance of ensuring they feel supported too.

How many times a day do you cough?

For someone living with chronic cough, it can mean broken sleep, exhaustion, pain and avoiding everyday activities. Some patients cough hundreds of times a day.

Meet Renee, who has lived with chronic cough for more than 5 years and coughs about 1500 - 2000 times a day.

Today is Allied Health Professions Day, celebrating the vital contribution allied health professionals make to improving health and wellbeing across all communities and settings.

This year’s theme is ‘Allied health: For everyone, everywhere’. Allied health professionals play an important role in supporting people affected by eosinophilic diseases and the tube feeding community.

We’re grateful to the allied health professionals, including dietitians and speech pathologists, who shared their expertise through ausEE’s Virtual Education Programs earlier this year. You can still watch the videos online.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales want to hear from siblings of a brother or sister with a long-term health condition.

Right now, there isn't enough research on how siblings in Australia find information and access support, which makes it hard to know what kind of resources would help.

What's involved: An online, anonymous questionnaire that takes around 10 minutes, asking about where siblings look for information and how they use social media and AI tools.

Who can take part: Siblings aged 12–18 years, living anywhere in Australia, currently living with a brother or sister who has a long-term illness, disability or health condition.

Your child can take part here: https://unsw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cSErpUbE0BSGBj8

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day (10 October).

This year’s theme, Together We Thrive, highlights the importance of connection, belonging and community in supporting mental health and wellbeing.

For people and families affected by eosinophil-associated diseases (EADs) or managing tube feeding, connecting with others who may understand similar experiences can help us feel less alone.

We’re grateful for the kindness and encouragement within ausEE’s community. Today is a reminder to check in with ourselves and those around us.
