Our vision is that heart health will be achievable by everyone in Australia by 2050. For over 60 years, the Heart Foundation has been the trusted peak body working to improve the prevention, detection, and support of heart disease for all Australians. While our work has significantly improved survival rates for people experiencing heart attacks and living with heart disease, we won’t be satisfied until heart disease is no longer a threat to any Australian. It remains one of our nation’s biggest killers, claiming 51 lives every day. Guided by our vision that heart health will be achievable by everyone in Australia by 2050, we continue to harness the knowledge & innovation of leading researchers & health professionals, alongside the passion of our supporters & the generosity of millions of Australians, by: • Funding high-impact research to support both emerging & established heart health researchers • Advocating to governments & industry for greater investment in heart health • Building awareness & understanding of heart-healthy living through public campaigns & accessible resources • Supporting health professionals in preventing, diagnosing, treating, and managing heart disease
