For over 50 years, the Heart Foundation has led the battle to save lives and improve the heart health of all Australians. The charity funds world-class cardiovascular research and works to improve heart disease prevention and care in Australia.
The Heart Foundation is dedicated to making a real difference to the heart health of Australians. Every day, work includes:
- Funding life-saving heart research
- Guiding health professionals on preventing and treating heart disease
- Educating Australians about making healthy choices
- Supporting people living with heart conditions
- Advocating to government and industry to improve heart health in Australia.
The Heart Foundation's sights are set on a world where people don’t suffer or die prematurely because of heart disease. Right now, 1.4 million Australians are living with heart disease and each year more than 55,000 Australians suffer a heart attack. We’re out to change that.
To continue their lifesaving research, education and health promotion, the Heart Foundation relies on donations and gifts in Wills.
