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.
