Cystic Fibrosis Australia has produced a wide range of brochures covering all aspects of life with CF. While some of the material is specific to Australia, the majority of the information is relevant to anyone living with CF or wanting to know more about CF. You can find these resources at Facts, Figures and Publications.

The brochures are arranged in the following categories:

    • Carrier Screening and diagnosis
    • Medications and procedures
    • School life
    • Physiotherapy
    • CF FIT
    • Nutrition
    • Hospital
    • Germs
    • Comorbidities (continence, bone health and CFRD)
    • Lung Transplant
    • Carers
    • Sexual Health and Fertility
    • Travel
    • Climate Change and CF
    • Exercise and Sport

Each topic provides links to PDF brochures dealing with various aspects of that topic. For example, the Carrier Screening and Diagnosis section includes brochures entitled: “New Diagnosis Information for Parents,” “Carrier Screening” and “Sweat Test.”

The brochures are written in an easy-to-read style. Breaking the information into multiple sections not only helps you deal with information overload, but also makes it easier to focus on the topic of most interest to you.
