Carer hub

Self-care can come in many forms and, although it can be difficult, it’s important to find time for it.

We provide a range of practical assistance and support to people who have a family member, partner or care for a person who lives with CF.  We do this through our Carer Respite Program (VIC) and:

• Helping people navigate government supports, including the NDIS, Centrelink, housing, employment
• CF Baby Steps – Information for newly diagnosed families
• Supporting parents in working with schools, kindergartens and childcare centres to understand CF
• Providing information for family members and people who care for an young person living with CF
• Providing information for family members and people who care for an adult living with CF
• One-on-one peer support with other parents, partners, siblings, and carers
• Support dinners, events and information sessions
• There are also government supports for carers available.

Carer Respite Program (VIC)

Our Carer Respite Program provides respite to primary carers of CFCC members in Victoria. It is intended that carers will be supported to take a break, work or study, improve their own health and wellbeing and engage in other life enriching activities of your choice.
