Heart Foundation

At the Heart Foundation, we are passionate about our role as the peak body for heart research, education and advocacy programs in Australia.

Our mission – to reduce heart disease and improve heart health and quality of life for all – gives us a clear focus on supporting the more than 4 million Australians who are currently living with diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels, and on keeping families together for longer.

Over 60 years, we’ve delivered major pieces of work that have reshaped the health care landscape in Australia, from playing a central role in the development of the automatic pacemaker to identifying the link between cholesterol and heart disease.
