The Improving Childhood Asthma Management (ICAM) program was developed by the Victorian Government to address increased rates of asthma-related emergency department presentations from children living in Melbourne’s inner west compared to those living in other parts of Melbourne.
To remove barriers and ease the burden of diagnosing and managing asthma for children and their carers, North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN) and Safer Care Victoria established a Community of Practice (CoP) in 2022.
The CoP brought health professionals together with parents/carers of children with asthma.
In May 2026, the final ICAM CoP was held. This page exists so carers and health professionals can continue to communicate, and access valuable resources.
