Cystic Fibrosis Australia

Logo for Cystic Fibrosis Australia

Every four days, a child is born with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). There are over one million carriers of the CF gene in Australia and most are not aware that they carry this life shortening genetic condition. Cystic Fibrosis Australia is the peak consumer body for people living with cystic fibrosis. We focus on collaborative programs and research, funding partnerships and advocacy. We work tirelessly to raise the profile of CF nationally and takes key messages to government, business and the health and community sectors to ensure these groups understand and appreciate the challenges people with CF face. These include key issues such as drug affordability and availability, mental health, infection control, gene testing and access to the best medical and allied health services.
