About us

We support Australian families with a child diagnosed with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. If your child has been diagnosed with CDH, please email hello@cdh.org.au

 

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia means being born with a hole in the diaphragm. This week, two families will receive this frightening diagnosis for their baby. There is no known cause or cure for this rare and life-threatening birth condition. This can be a scary journey for Mums and Dads. We are the only charity supporting Australian families with a child diagnosed with CDH.

 

We work to improve the lives of those affected by this rare and complicated birth condition. We fund research projects, produce educational content, connect families with services and vital peer support. We are dedicated to raising awareness, and helping families navigate their own CDH journey.  Our charity is led by volunteers, many of whom have been directly affected by CDH.

 

Over the past few years, we have funded two research projects which have helped improve the treatment options and outcomes for babies born with CDH. Our third research project is in development.

 

We sincerely appreciate all efforts to raise awareness and funds to support CDH families. Follow the links to fundraise or make a tax-deductible donation.

 

 

Our Vision

Sometimes it’s hard to know what to ask or who to contact. We can help you find what you need. We are here to make sure no family faces CDH alone. Email us hello@cdh.org.au
