The Heart Health Check Community Project

04/05/2026

It’s Heart Week and it’s all about starting conversations about heart health with the people we love.

We would love it if you could chat with your family and friends and invite them to consider joining our community research project, which is exploring new and easier ways for people in rural communities like ours to access heart health checks.

By taking part, participants not only receive a heart health check (either at home, in a community pharmacy, or at a local health care centre), they are contributing to evidence that may help inform how heart health checks could be delivered in the future, to make it easier for rural Australians to access and be supported in their heart health journey.

Heart disease remains Australia’s biggest killer. Research like this helps inform how care can be accessed and improved, especially for communities outside our major cities like ours.

Heart Week is the perfect time to talk, share, and, if appropriate, invite someone you care about to learn more about The Heart Health Check Community Project.
