About CF Together
CF Together exists for one powerful purpose: until everyone with cystic fibrosis lives a full life, lived to the full. As a national organisation grounded in community, evidence-informed advocacy and collaborative care, CF Together brings people, partners and policy together to drive meaningful change. We work to ensure all Australians living with CF — regardless of age, background, or geography — can access the care, support and connection they need to thrive.
Our 2024–2027 Strategic Plan sets out an ambitious agenda to improve lives and shift systems. Anchored in five pillars — Community, Care, Voice, Research, and Transformation — we are co-creating inclusive services, advocating for policy reform, funding new research into cures and treatments, and building a future-ready organisation. With an active and engaged national community, influential clinical and research partners, and a strong commitment to equity, we are poised for significant and sustained impact.
About the role
Reporting to the professional Board, the CEO will lead CF Together through its next chapter of strategic delivery and sector influence. This includes overseeing the implementation of our strategic plan, strengthening national partnerships, driving innovation in programs and service delivery, and ensuring sustainable growth through strong financial and stakeholder stewardship. The CEO will be a visible ambassador for CF Together — representing the voice of our community, influencing decision-makers, and fostering deep trust and collaboration with supporters, clinicians, researchers, and families.
About the person
We are seeking a dynamic, collaborative and purpose-driven leader who brings proven executive leadership experience within a complex stakeholder environment. You will be a natural relationship builder with the ability to engage across community, government, healthcare, philanthropy and research sectors. You will bring strong strategic thinking, financial and organisational acumen, and a deep appreciation of co-design, inclusion and equity. Experience in the health, not-for-profit, or community sector will be highly regarded, as will a commitment to leading with authenticity and impact.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a bold, values-led organisation that is changing futures for people living with cystic fibrosis across Australia.

A renewal invoice is not a request for last year's money. It is a request to pay for next year's benefits. The moment a member — individual or corporate — opens that invoice, they make a decision: renew, or walk.
If your association is thinking about a rebrand because the colours look dated or a Board member doesn't like the typeface, stop. That's not the question worth asking. The real question is harder: does your organisation still represent the sector it claims to lead?
A website project is a governance decision with a technology component, not the other way round. The associations that get it right are the ones that invest in discovery, requirements, and contract scrutiny before a single pixel is designed. The ones that get it wrong skip straight to the demo, fall for the referral, and find out about ownership, integration, and total cost when it is too late to do anything but pay.
How we help membership based, not-for-profit associations now and into the future.
