POTS is a life altering condition that too often goes unrecognised. Partnering with the Australian POTS Foundation will help us raise awareness, encourage research and back practical support for people affected by it. Early diagnosis and good management can transform daily life, and we’re committed to working with the POTS community to make that a reality across Australia.

Partnering for Australians living with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

POTS and the Heart Foundation are coming together to work with Australian communities to improve understanding, treatment and care of individuals impacted by POTS.

This partnership marks a significant step forward in improving the lives of Australians affected by POTS and other complex cardiovascular and autonomic disorders.

Through this collaboration, we aim to:

  • Raise awareness of this often misunderstood condition
  • Advocate for better access to diagnosis, treatment, and support
  • Empower those impacted by POTS and their families through education, community engagement and health system improvements.

Our collaboration with the Heart Foundation reflects our shared belief that lived experience must guide research, education and policy reform for Australians living with heart conditions. Working together gives us the ability to drive better care, better understanding and better outcomes for all Australians.
