Fewer Australians lost to heart disease.
We promote cardiac health across Victoria and beyond — raising awareness, supporting prevention, and standing beside heart patients and their families.
Awareness & prevention
Clear, trustworthy information to help Australians understand their risk and act early — because most heart disease is preventable.
Explore heart health →Patient & family support
Practical guidance and resources for people living with heart conditions — and for the families who care for them.
Patient information sheets →Community & equity
A focus on communities most at risk of heart disease, so good heart health is within reach for every Australian.
Our purpose →Why it matters
Heart disease is one of Australia's leading causes of death.
Coronary heart disease remains among the single biggest killers of Australians each year — yet a large share of cases are linked to risk factors that can be identified and managed. That gap between what happens and what's preventable is where we focus.
