Our partner: Her Heart

Heart Foundation and Her Heart are working together to help reduce the death toll of losing one woman an hour to cardiovascular disease in Australia

Given that heart disease is the leading cause of death amongst Australian women, with one woman dying every hour, Her Heart focuses on prevention, awareness, education and advocacy to address this critical health issue.

Partnering for women’s heart health

Her Heart and the Heart Foundation are coming together in a critical partnership to improve cardiovascular health outcomes for women. Together, we aim to reduce the impact of cardiovascular disease in women by:

• Raising awareness through targeted campaigns and accessible resources.
• Advocating for gender-specific research, funding, and healthcare policies.
• Supporting community-led initiatives that drive better prevention, diagnosis, and care.

We are proud to partner with the Heart Foundation to drive real change for women’s heart health. By combining our expertise, we can amplify awareness, improve early detection, and ensure women receive the care they deserve.
