Community Support Worker Service
CFWA have a Community Support Worker (CSW) service available in the metropolitan area to provide regular home visits to children and adults with CF. Our CSW program is funded by the Health Department of WA and offers assistance with airway clearance, nebulisation and exercise. Our CSWs receive regular training to provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to supervise treatments safely and effectively.
Practical home support including help around the house, as well as short term respite, is also available for families experiencing an acute change in circumstances. This may be the birth of a new baby or injury/illness.
This service is available for anyone with CF and can be accessed by referral from your CF team or self-referral.
