Heart disease is a leading cause of illness and early death for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia.
Despite important progress, there are still significant gaps in outcomes compared with the wider community. Risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, and limited access to culturally safe care contribute to these differences.
At Connected Cardiology, we are committed to closing this gap and supporting heart health across the Goulburn Valley.
We encourage everyone to consider a regular Heart Health Check.
This simple check can help detect problems early and guide treatment before serious illness develops.

We work closely with the Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-operative and Njernda Aboriginal Corporation, delivering outreach clinics that bring heart care into community.
We pride ourselves on providing culturally sensitive care, and all of our staff undergo regular cultural awareness training to ensure we meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and families with respect and understanding.
