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.

Risk management is one of those areas that every association and not-for-profit Board knows is important - but it can sometimes become
little more than a risk register reviewed once or twice a year.
Insurance can be treated in much the same way.
The organisation receives its annual insurance renewal, the premium is approved, the policy is renewed and everyone assumes the organisation
is covered.
A practical look at volunteer governance, operational decision-making and what the events industry needs to understand about associations.
Nick Koerbin has spent many years working with professional and industry associations, and he has developed a simple habit: whenever he
meets a professional, he often asks whether they belong to their association — and whether they believe the membership is worth it.
A recent conversation with a young allied health professional raised some important questions about membership value, relevance and the
expectations of the next generation.
In this article, Nick shares that conversation and challenges association leaders to consider a simple but confronting question:
Would the next generation of professionals in your sector believe your association is worth joining?
How we help membership based, not-for-profit associations now and into the future.
