Standards of Care
Standards of Care
Cystic Fibrosis Australia released the first Standards of Cystic Fibrosis Care Guidelines in Australia, in 2008.
This document has now been updated and the first four chapters have been published, with more to be added in the coming months. The Standards of Care is also a live document, and will be updated regularly as required.
The Standards of Care Steering Committee worked together to complete the document and deliver it to the CF community guidelines relevant to our unique needs in Australia.
The document will look at the life span of a person with cystic fibrosis, covering topics including; Facilities and Staffing, Services, Newly Diagnosed Children, Newly Diagnosed Adolescents and Adults, Outpatient Care, Inpatient Care, Home Therapy, Transition Care, Outreach Services and Care, Transplantation and End of Life Care, and the Role of the CF Organisations.
Framework for CF CAre
The CF CENTRE: Patient-Centred Care, Services and Staffing
The Framework for CF Care sets out a nationally consistent approach to delivering high-quality, equitable, and coordinated care for all Australians living with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Developed collaboratively with clinicians, researchers, and the CF community, it outlines best-practice standards across clinical management, mental health, data-driven improvement, and access to emerging therapies.
The Framework ensures that every person with CF, regardless of where they live, receives the same level of comprehensive, multidisciplinary support throughout their life, helping to improve outcomes and quality of life across the CF community.
