Cystic Fibrosis Clinic

Who we care for

We provide care and treatment for people who are:

• In hospital
• Referred to our specialist consulting clinics

We look after adults with Cystic Fibrosis from across Victoria, as we are a statewide service.

We can also provide treatment for you in your home, when you are well enough, using the Hospital in the Home service.

If you are transferring from another Cystic Fibrosis Care Service, your CF Specialist will need to send us a medical letter which details the care you have received at that Centre and your current health as well as copies of any previous scans and test results.
