Cystic Fibrosis WA

Cystic Fibrosis WA Cystic Fibrosis WA (CFWA) was established by a group of parents in 1975. Since those early days, we have grown into a professional not for profit organisation.

Today CFWA provides a comprehensive range of services, in home support, and resources for people affected by cystic fibrosis (CF) in Western Australia. We have built strong partnerships and continue to collaborate with a range of state and national organisations, and contribute extensively to CF research.

Living with CF means your body can experience a lot of change over time, and with new treatments helping people live longer, the CF journey is evolving.

People with CF are now navigating new questions around physical and mental health, medications, family planning and ageing with CF.

We recently hosted Jonathan Huston MLA, Member for Nedlands and Shadow Minister for Deregulation; Small Business; Public Sector Reform; and Veterans, at our CFWA office this week. 📣

During his visit, our CEO Lisa Bayakly shared the work we do to support people living with cystic fibrosis in Western Australia, the ongoing need for practical and financial assistance for families, and our continued advocacy for a new adult CF Outpatient clinic.

Building strong relationships across all sides of Parliament helps strengthen awareness and support for the CF community, and we appreciate Jonathan taking the time to meet with us and learn more about the challenges faced by people with CF.

Meet Sarah - a mum of three, a longtime fundraiser, and now a proud participant in the HBF Run for a Reason supporting Cystic Fibrosis WA.

Both her firstborn and youngest sons live with cystic fibrosis, and this year, Sarah is running to say thank you. Since moving to Australia, her family has received support from hospital teams and from CFWA - care that has helped them through so much. Running and raising money is her way of paying that kindness forward and helping other families going through the same journey.

You can support Sarah’s run here: https://runforareason26.grassrootz.com/cfwa/sarah-haddow

Every donation helps families living with CF access the services, care, and community they need. Let’s cheer Sarah on and help her make an incredible impact for CF families across WA! 💙

Many people with CF and their families form close connections with their multidisciplinary care team during frequent hospital visits and appointments. 🏥

With newer treatments reducing hospital time and improving health, these relationships are shifting from crisis care to long term support, focusing more on life goals, wellbeing, and partnership.

For some, this shift can feel freeing and empowering, for others, it can feel like a loss of familiar support. https://www.cfwa.org.au/futures/my-relationships/mdt-relationships/

We recently hosted Breakthroughs Over Breakfast at The Kids Research Institute Australia, bringing together an incredible panel of researchers working to improve the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis.

Dr Yuliya Karpievitch, Dr Maggie Harrigan and Sarah Thomas shared insights into their research and how they are helping people with cystic fibrosis live longer, healthier lives. With Kate Bingemann as our host, it was inspiring to start the morning hearing about the breadth of innovative projects currently underway in such a wonderful space.

This vital research is made possible thanks to funding from the WA Cystic Fibrosis Research Collaborative Program, a partnership between the Western Australian Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Fund and Cystic Fibrosis WA (CFWA), in collaboration with Conquer Cystic Fibrosis (CCF).
