Tomorrow is World Asthma Day, a reminder that asthma can affect people of all ages and can look different from person to person.🫁

For some, it’s wheezing. For others, it may be coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, reduced exercise tolerance or symptoms that come and go.

At CRS, we offer respiratory testing to help assess lung function and support clearer treatment pathways.

Our testing services include:
• Spirometry
• Comprehensive Lung Function Testing
• FeNO Testing

If breathing has felt harder than it should, it may be worth looking into properly. The first step is visiting your GP to discuss your symptoms and requesting a referral to us.

Sleep issues can affect far more than just how you feel in the morning.

Snoring, ongoing fatigue, restless sleep and poor concentration can all be signs that something during the night is impacting your rest.

At CRS, we offer three sleep study pathways to suit different needs:

-At-home sleep study
Complete your overnight study in the comfort of your own bed, with equipment designed to monitor breathing, oxygen levels, heart activity and more while you sleep.

-In-hospital sleep study
A more comprehensive overnight assessment performed in a dedicated hospital setting, ideal for patients who may require closer monitoring or more complex evaluation.

-Paediatric sleep study
Home based sleep studies for children aged 5+, helping assess concerns such as snoring, restless sleep, daytime tiredness or suspected sleep apnoea.

Every study is reviewed by a CRS sleep physician, with clear guidance on the next steps in your care.

Asthma can begin to show signs in early childhood, sometimes even in the preschool years.🫁

Parents may notice symptoms such as recurrent wheezing, persistent coughing, shortness of breath, or coughing that worsens at night or during exercise. In younger children, conditions such as preschool wheeze or frequent bronchitis can sometimes be early indicators that the airways are more sensitive.

Understanding what is causing a child’s breathing symptoms is important, and respiratory testing can help provide clearer answers.

At CRS, we offer paediatric respiratory testing at our Nedlands and Murdoch locations, supporting children with a range of respiratory concerns including asthma, preschool wheeze, chronic cough and bronchitis, shortness of breath, chronic lung disease of prematurity, and other respiratory disorders.

Today we’d like to welcome two new Respiratory and Sleep Physicians to our CRS offices in Victoria, Dr Erica Subhas and Dr Sahan Chandrasekara.

Dr Subhas brings a thoughtful, structured approach to the assessment and management of sleep disorders, with particular focus on obstructive sleep apnoea, insomnia, hypersomnia and circadian rhythm conditions. Her work centres on accurate diagnosis, practical treatment plans, and supporting long term adherence to therapy, including CPAP where appropriate. She works closely with referring GPs to ensure clear communication and continuity of care.

Dr Chandrasekara has a strong clinical and research background in respiratory and sleep medicine, with expertise across complex sleep disorders, airway disease and the respiratory impacts of cardiac conditions. He is particularly focused on helping patients better understand their condition and access the most appropriate evidence based treatment to improve quality of life.

Both specialists bring a collaborative, patient centred approach and are now consulting with immediate availability.
