IBAS is an incorporated not-for-profit organisation with the mission of promoting, facilitating and co-ordinating research, education and public advocacy in respiratory and sleep health. It is only recently that the impact of respiratory and sleep health, both for individuals as well as society as a whole, has been recognised.

The objectives of the Institute are to:

• Promote and provide a focus for research and education in respiratory and sleep health
• Reduce morbidity and mortality and improve quality of life for persons with respiratory and sleep disorders
• Promote occupational health, driver safety and clean air through respiratory and sleep health programs
• Provide leadership and public education and advocacy in respiratory and sleep health
• Attract, co-ordinate and manage funding programs for research and education in respiratory and sleep health

IBAS has been working towards these objectives since its inception in 2000. It has grown from a handful of clinician-researchers to a group of over 80 personnel.

IBAS relies on funding from a number of sources but to continue this important work, IBAS depends on donations and support from the general public.
