Mildura Rural City Council and Wentworth Shire Council are both supporting an important local research project focused on improving heart health in our region.
The Heart Health Check Community Project is a federally funded research project led by La Trobe in partnership with local community members and healthcare providers.
It’s exploring new ways for rural Australians to access a heart health check, whether that’s at home, through a pharmacy, or at a local healthcare service.
Less than 1% of eligible Australians currently get a heart health check, despite heart disease being the leading cause of death, both nationally and here in our region.
By taking part, you’ll receive your own heart health check and a better understanding of your risk to heart disease, while also contributing to research that could help shape a new, more accessible model of care for rural communities.
