“As long as they’re healthy” is a common phrase but when your child isn’t, it takes on a deeper meaning. This video, produced by Joey Billing and featuring her cousin, reminds us to rethink what truly matters.

Our Cystic Fibrosis community still has a mammoth fight on its hands so let’s keep loving and fighting for our children and adults with CF together.

Proudly supported by Prime Trophies

Conquer Cystic Fibrosis has funded more than 25 research projects, supporting world‑class Cystic Fibrosis research through three primary channels.

Each project CCF supports has the potential to transform care, improve outcomes, and extend the lives of people living with CF.

Institute of Respiratory Health (IRH)

Building WA’s CF research workforce and clinical excellence.

In 2015, CCF formed a major partnership with the Institute of Respiratory Health in Nedlands.  Through a $1 million commitment over five years, CCF established the Conquer Cystic Fibrosis Research Program.  This program funded three postgraduate PhD scholarships, designed to:

• Foster careers in Cystic Fibrosis research
• Strengthen adult CF care in Western Australia
• Attract and retain top clinicians and researchers in Western Australia

These scholarships continue to build long‑term research capacity and clinical leadership in CF across the State.

 Australian Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust (ACFRT)

Supporting high‑quality, peer‑reviewed national research.

The Australian Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust (ACFRT) funds high‑quality CF research across Australia.  Only projects assessed and recommended by the scientific community receive support.

In 2024–2025 CCF continued to co‑fund peer‑reviewed studies exploring:

• Genetic and cell‑based therapies
• Digital health innovations
• New multidisciplinary models of care

These projects aim to improve life expectancy, health outcomes and overall wellbeing for people living with CF.

 The Kids Research Institute Australia/Wal‑yan Respiratory Research Centre

Bringing phage therapy to Western Australia.

Access to phage therapy, a promising treatment for antibiotic‑resistant superbugs, is now closer for people with CF in WA thanks to a $500,000 donation from CCF to the Wal‑yan Respiratory Research Centre.

This investment enabled the establishment of a phage bioreactor facility in Western Australia, allowing phage’s to be manufactured locally for patients with very limited or no treatment options.

This research is urgently needed and is giving families living with CF real hope.

CCF’s research investments:

• Build Western Australia’s research workforce
• Support national scientific excellence
• Accelerate innovative treatments
• Bring new therapies closer to families
• Strengthen WA’s contribution to global CF research

CCF’s catalytic funding model ensures that every dollar raised by the community drives scientific progress.

We can always use more help!  Whether you have one hour or many, we’d love to hear from you.

You might have a special skill we need, or you might simply be full of great ideas and energy. We are a friendly, no‑pressure group doing what we can, together. Whether you’d like to join the Gala Ball Committee, help at an event, or assist with sourcing donations, we’d be thrilled to have you involved.

We also warmly encourage families to get involved by hosting their own fundraisers from sausage sizzles and sporting challenges to morning teas or even a grand cocktail party.  Every effort makes a real difference.

We’re also grateful to hear from people living with Cystic Fibrosis who would like to share their story, write a blog piece, or help us promote our message. Your voice matters, and your experience helps others understand why our work is so important.
