PEP-Aus Partners and Funding
PEP-Aus wouldn’t be possible without the people and organisations who support us.
Grant Funding
PEP-Aus is proudly funded through a Research Innovation Grant for the period 2025–2027, made possible by:
- Conquer Cystic Fibrosis
- Cystic Fibrosis Western Australia (CFWA)
- The Western Australian Future Health Research and Innovation Fund.
This funding supports the current two-year program of co-production and pilot testing that will lay the foundation for PEP-Aus national rollout.
Acknowledgements
We would like to thank and acknowledge all members of the PEP-Aus Working Group as well as our partners, sponsors, health professional colleagues and members of the CF community who contributed their invaluable expertise and experience to the development of this work.

Our Partners and Supporters
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) — United States
PEP-Aus would not exist without our partnership with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in the US — the innovators behind the original PEP program. The CFF’s collaboration, expertise, and generosity in sharing their work has made the Australian adaptation possible.
Institute of Respiratory Health (IRH) and University of Western Australia (UWA)
We gratefully acknowledge the ongoing support of our partners at the Institute of Respiratory Health and the University of Western Australia, whose institutional backing strengthens the research foundation of PEP-Aus.
