Support us and help save Australian hearts
Join the fight against Australia’s biggest killer by supporting the Heart Foundation.
With you by our side, we see a future free from heart disease
Through support, the rate of deaths has gone down by 86 per cent since its peak in 1968. But there’s still so much work to do. Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in Australia.
Where your donations go
- 45 cents goes into the fight against heart disease, including health programs and public education
- 21 cents goes into life-saving research
- 20 cents goes into raising additional funds
- 13 cents goes into communications and administration.
Ways to give
Give hope to the 620,000 Australians living with heart disease, like Hamish
If we don’t have funding, research will stop – and it can’t stop. Look at Hamish now, from being this sick boy on life support, to a valued member of the community.
He owes his life to people like you, who have helped fund past breakthroughs, and are supporting us to find better ways to treat heart failure in the future.
