Heart of Australia Heart of Australia delivers specialist healthcare to people living in rural and remote communities

Heart of Australia is a rural health program that embodies the most innovative approach to frontline specialist medical service delivery. Heart of Australia delivers monthly specialist medical investigation and treatment clinics to rural and remote communities across Queensland - breaking the grip of distance that denies rural and remote-area Australians easy access to specialist services. Currently operating in Queensland with a planned expansion to other states in the foreseeable future.

One of the driving forces behind our services are our fantastic patients 🧡 Their belief in our mission to bridge the healthcare gap keeps our mobile clinics out on the country roads, where they are needed most.

Included in this audience are Theodore locals, Roslyn and Paul, who visit Dr Gomes for their cardiology reviews when he stops by Theodore. It is long-time patients like these who continue to keep Dr Gomes serving rural communities, 11 years on after founding Heart of Australia. Our Heart Team love to see Roslyn’s special ‘heart shirt’, which she wears whenever she comes onboard and can be seen in the picture below! We are proud to play a part in supporting the long-term health and wellbeing of our rural patients, and look forward to sharing more of their stories this year.

Roslyn and Paul’s advocacy for our work both in-person and online is deeply appreciated and does not go unnoticed - it's the people that vouch for our service that helps to keep our program running and our Heart Trucks on the road.

Today, we wanted to shine a spotlight on one of the beautiful rural Queensland communities we visit: Mossman Gorge!

When our Heart team last visited in May with HEART 4 and most recently for an offsite visit at one of Apunipima Cape York Health Council's clinics in November, they were captivated by the crystal-clear waters in the Mossman River and the leafy surrounding rainforests. If you’re ever up in Far North Queensland, make sure to stop by 🧡

Check out the newest member of our fleet below!

A big thank you to Toyota Australia who have supported our mission to bring equitable and accessible healthcare into the country’s most far-flung communities since 2018 as our official vehicle partner 🧡 🚗
