The Heart Health Check Community Project

07/06/2026

We get around, from town to town…..

From Dareton to Mildura, and Wentworth, we’ve had great conversations about the at home heart health check kit, the centrepiece of our project, and how locals can access this kit and health check by participating in our research project.

Missed seeing us? No worries. We’ve got you covered. You can still sign up to take part.

Thank you to our team of community champions - Bron, Margie, Dawn, and Richie for helping us connect with everyone.

And a big thank you to Dareton Men’s Shed, Total Tools Mildura VIP night, Rotary Mildura Deakin Changeover Dinner, and the Wentworth Flood Rally for hosting us.

Be smart. Check your heart. Try a new way. Take part today!

Behind every successful community project is a group of people quietly making it happen.

On Thursday night, Katrina, from our research project team, had the privilege of attending and celebrating the Changeover dinner of one of those groups, Rotary Mildura Deakin

The Heart Health Check Community Project wouldn't be where it is today without Rotary's belief, advocacy and support. They've helped us reach new audiences, build a team of community champions, supported us financially, connect with our community and helped us turn an idea into action.

Congratulations on another outstanding year of service 👏👏👏

Our community is stronger because of people like you 🙏💖🫶

Heart disease doesn’t just happen to “older” people.

It doesn’t just happen to “unhealthy” people.

And too often, people don’t know they’re at risk until it’s too late.

That’s why community champions like Bron matter 🤩🫶

This weekend, Bron volunteered her time at Mildura Weir parkrun to help spread the word about the Heart Health Check Community Project and encourage locals to take part in this important research.

Because changing heart health outcomes in our region starts with conversations. With awareness. With action.

Thank you Bron 🙏 This is what community leadership looks like.

Want to help us make a difference?

✔️ Sign up to take part in the research
✔️ Help spread the word
✔️ Invite us to your workplace, club, school or community group
✔️ Become one of our community champions

By taking part, you won’t just complete a heart health check at home or in a pharmacy, you’ll help researchers understand new ways heart health checks could be delivered in rural communities to make them more accessible for everyone.

Be smart. Check your heart. Try a new way. Take part today 👇

What a day at the Mildura Field Days! 🚜❤️

From chats at the MRIC marquee to local organisations helping hand out flyers and spread the word, this is what community looks like, people coming together to help improve heart health in rural communities.

Every conversation matters. Every flyer shared matters. Every person who takes part in the research project helps shape a better future for how heart health checks are delivered across regional Australia.
So many people reached out to help us “touch somebody” today and that’s exactly how change starts.

Join the research project and help make a difference.
