Join our fight against heart disease

Heart disease has a devastating impact on Australian families; everyday it claims 72 lives.

The good news is that determined people like you are making a difference by joining our fight for healthier hearts.  

As a regular donor, your monthly gift helps save lives with high-impact heart research. You’ll also be helping provide support and care programs for people living with heart disease.

Together, we can defeat Australia’s number 1 killer 

Your support helps the Heart Foundation save Australian hearts through: 

  • Funding world-class researchers to reach breakthroughs in the prevention and treatment of heart disease. 
  • Training health professionals in the latest and best treatment options. 
  • Educating more Australians on recognising the risks and what to do in a heart emergency. 
  • Supporting better patient care for people living with heart disease. 

The power of your support

Every dollar you donate helps the heart Foundation to save Australian hearts. Your support helps to:
Fund world class research
Develop vital guidelines for health professionals
Support high-quality care for people living with heart disease
Motivate Australian to live heart-healthy lifestyles

Hear from our heroes 

"I became a regular giver as I wanted to be a part of something meaningful and give back to a great cause. I’ve watched my family members struggle and battle this disease every day. The Heart Foundation gives me hope that we can find a solution for this terrible disease. If research can help save one life, so another family doesn’t have to endure the pain of heart disease, it’s worth it."

– Kelly Millet 

"As a paramedic, I can save the life of someone you love. As a Heart Foundation supporter, I can help save thousands. Surviving my own heart attack reminded me how much the Heart Foundation’s investment in research and education programs improves outcomes for all Australians."

– Rob Marley 


Someone willing to make a small sacrifice to help save the lives of thousands of other people is a hero. Thanks to people like Kelly and Rob, the Heart Foundation can carry out its mission to prevent heart disease and improve the heart health and quality of life of all Australians.  

Joining the fight

You make a significant impact 

When Australians like you donate monthly, you empower us to fund more researchers to make faster progress and get closer to cures and treatments.  

You get to be a part of something bigger 

Discover the joy of joining a like-minded community with a whole lot of heart. Our monthly donors are our Heart Foundation heroes, and as committed as we are to fighting heart disease.  

Automated payments  

Life is busy. Making automatic contributions is one less thing for you to remember each month. 

Change at any time 

You’re in complete control of your giving. Should your circumstances change, you can amend or postpone your donation at any time. 

Plan your purpose  

With monthly contributions there are no surprises. You can plan the meaningful contribution you’re going to make over the year.  

More of your generous gift can go towards life-saving research and providing support to those impacted by heart disease. When more compassionate people like you decide to change the course of heart disease, nothing can stop us. Even small sums quickly add up to big change.

Are you ready to join the fight against heart disease?
