About Cystic Fibrosis NZ
Cystic Fibrosis NZ (CFNZ) was founded in 1968 by a group of parents who saw an unmet need for support and resources for people living with cystic fibrosis (CF).
​​
Over 56 years later, CFNZ stands as a strong for-purpose organisation working proudly with a mission to be the continuous thread in the lives of people with CF, walking beside them andtheir families, providing wrap-around support whenever and wherever it is needed to enable quality of life.
As the only national organisation supporting over 600 people with CF and their families, we are committed to improving lives through care, unwavering support, and advocacy. We are committed to ensuring that individualised and meaningful support is available at every part of their CF journey.
