To reduce suffering and death from heart, stroke and blood vessel disease in Australia.

Since we were established in Australia in 1959, we have funded world-class cardiovascular research, supported health professionals in their practice, developed health promotion activities, informed and educated the public, and assisted people with cardiovascular disease. Today, the life expectancy of Australians is about ten years longer for men and nine years longer for women. With your support, we aim to continue our ground-breaking work into the future, providing Australians with the very best heart health information and funds for cutting edge research. The Heart Foundation is dedicated to reducing the dreadful effects of the number of people living with, or dying from heart, stroke and blood vessel disease.
