The Cystic Fibrosis Western Australia is a charity organisation mainly established to help provide support for each and every individual who has cystic fibrosis and is living in the western part of Australia. It has since then been rendering vital services to such people and has also seen to it that various researches are carried out into the causes and how best to possibly treat it permanently in order to allow the individual who has been affected to also have the chance to live a very normal and satisfying life.

The vision of the organisation is to help build a society where the individuals within it get to live the normal lives without being put under any undue effects as a result of them having cystic fibrosis.
The organisation has been, from the day it was first formed, dedicated to the provision of assistance to all patients of cystic fibrosis who are living within Western Australia.
How the organisation gets funded?
This is an organisation that does not seek to make any profit from the services that we do offer people with cystic fibrosis in Western Australia and as such the organisation is mainly funded by the general public through a number of ways. These ways have been put down by the organisation in order to allow the general public, both the individuals and businesses within the community, to also put in some effort so as to help us help patients of cystic fibrosis. The ways include the following;
Make a donation
This is the giving of a material or monetary gift to the organisation so as to support the services that it renders to the patients. There are also a number of ways through which a donation can also be made and these include;
- On a weekly basis
- On a fortnightly basis
- On a monthly basis
- On a quarterly basis
- On a yearly basis or
- A one-time donation
All these ways allows the general public to make donations of all kinds to the organisation in order that it will be in a better position to carry out the necessary activities that it has been performing for people with cystic fibrosis.
Fundraise for the organisation
This also goes for those community members who are willing to put in place various events and activities with the general aim of helping to realize the much needed financial and material resources for the organisation. Such events are always carried out after permission has been sought from the organisation in order for such activities to be undertaken on behalf of the organisation.
Participate in events organised by the Cystic Fibrosis Western Australia
This is also another way through which the general public are given the chance to support the organisation in raising funds for the provision of better services to patients of cystic fibrosis. All that the general public have to do under this channel is to take active part in any of the events that are organised throughout the year by buying tickets to those programmes and doing other things which all help to give financial support to the organisation. The organisation therefore organises a number of fundraising activities and campaigns and urge the general public to get actively involved so that essential funds can be raised to support people with cystic fibrosis.
Volunteer for the organisation
Another way to also render services to the organisation is by becoming a volunteer. Those who volunteer for the organisation accept to freely carry out various tasks and duties for the organisation without seeking for any financial gains. The activities that volunteers can perform are numerous and depend mainly on the area of specialization of such an individual as doing that helps to ensure that each individual volunteer is used to support the organisation in the most efficient way possible.
Become a member
This is for those who wish to be actively involved in almost everything that the organisation does with regards to people who are affected by cystic fibrosis. There is the avenue for such community members to become members of the organisation by paying monthly dues which also gives them the chance to enjoy all the benefits that come with being a member of the Cystic Fibrosis Western Australia.
A corporate supporter
This is for those businesses who wish to help with the noble cause of the organisation and therefore agree to provide financial, material and human resources to help the organisation achieve its goals of helping people with cystic fibrosis.
How the funds realized are used
The funds that are realized from the various avenues are used in the following ways;
- The provision of supportive services for adults with cystic fibrosis
- The provision of essential equipments
- The provision of HiTH services (Hospital in the Home)
- Advocating for better treatments for people with cystic fibrosis
