Health for Every Heart reflects insights and input from a wide range of people and organisations.
The development process involved national, regional, and internal consultation, research, and review by Heart Foundation management. This included:
- Horizon scanning to identify long-term trends in heart health and disease, population health, and developments in technologies and treatments.
- A survey inviting input sent to around 400,000 Heart Foundation donors, community supporters, consumers, volunteers, and sector stakeholders.
- Consultation with the Heart Foundation’s Advisory Boards in every State and Territory, and with our National Board of Directors.
- A national series of Roundtables in every State and Territory to hear the needs and priorities of governments, advocacy and community groups, researchers, clinicians, people with lived experience, and other health charities.
- Consultation with the research sector through Cardiovascular Research Networks around the country.
We acknowledge all the input and ideas that have contributed to the vision and look forward to continued engagement, idea generation, partnership, and discussion as we work collectively to make our vision a reality.
