Transitioning from paediatric to adult care
As children with CF become adults, medical care transitions from paediatric CF physicians to adult physicians. Paediatric services at Monash cover the age from birth to age 19; adult services cover the age group from 19 onwards. At Monash CF, we view transition as a period of change that happens over a long time, from before starting secondary school to adulthood. We seek to support young people through this period of change until their mid-20’s and beyond.
For adults with CF choosing to have a family, we work closely with other services and organisations to provide the best possible care.
