This is what community looks like!😍

They opened doors. Made connections. Shared our message. They showed up!👊

Yesterday, we celebrated our Community Champions and their efforts to help us recruit 501 people into the research project 🥳👏👏👏

Proud of what we’ve achieved together so far. Ready for what comes next 💪

****IMPORTANT INFORMATION****

We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to our Heart Health Check Community Project: Celebrating Our Recruitment Champions and Partners event tomorrow.

There’s a temporary change to accessing the Mildura Campus due to works at the entrance.

⚠️ Please DO NOT use TAFE Entrance 2 off Benetook Avenue (the La Trobe end). This entrance is currently closed.

Instead, follow the alternate route shown on the map below and the campus signage when you arrive.

Pedestrian access between the TAFE and La Trobe campuses is still open.

We're incredibly grateful to be selected as one of the beneficiaries of the Total Tools Mildura Charity Golf Day, held in honour of Craig Wylie.

This event is a wonderful example of community coming together to support great causes, and we're proud to be part of it.

This fantastic community event provides an opportunity for us to extend the Heart Health Check Community Project beyond our clinical trial and into the wider community. If you're a tradie, golfer, or community member looking for a great day out, we'd encourage you to purchase a ticket, come along, and register for a heart health check as part of the event.

Participants will complete a heart health check, while also contributing to important research. Every participant will walk away with a better understanding of their heart health and help generate evidence that could shape the future of how heart health checks are delivered in rural Australia.

Heart health checks are limited, and bookings are essential. To register for a heart health check at the event, visit the Charity Golf Day website and follow the Heart Health Check booking link.

Thank you to Brooke, Campbell, Richard and Sonya, and everyone involved in making this wonderful community event possible. Together, we're creating opportunities for better health outcomes in rural communities like ours.

Maybe you’ll be the one leading research that makes a difference in our community one day🤔

That’s one of the great things about La Trobe University, Mildura Campus, it’s not just about studying here. It’s about creating opportunities to learn, contribute and make an impact right here in our region.

We’ve seen that firsthand through this research project and the fantastic nursing students involved as research assistants.

If you’re thinking about university, or know someone who is, come and see what’s possible right here in our own backyard.
