Mildura Rural City Council is 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.
