Cystic Fibrosis Australia assists member organisations to achieve common objectives by developing national education programs and collecting and distributing information about Cystic Fibrosis (CF) at national and international levels.
CF member organisations direct their activities to the provision of high quality health and welfare services to children and young adults with CF and their families.
65 Roses Day, which falls on Friday 23 May 2008, is the national awareness day for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in Australia.
The day is based on the story of a little boy who could not pronounce his sisters condition. Many Children with CF are too young to pronounce Cystic Fibrosis, hence 65 Roses is an easier alternative.
Your local organisation has a number of support programs available to assist to children and young adults with CF and their families.
