Information for Patients and their Families.
We know that being diagnosed with a heart condition, or having a family member diagnosed, can be an isolating experience, but it doesn't have to be? How do we know? Because we've been there!!

Within the Heart Support Australia entity, we have specially trained members who are part of our Heart Health Support Service. These members have been trained as Heart Heart Support Service officers who have all experienced the trauma associated with having a heart condition; either as a patient, a spouse/partner, or as a parent of a child.
Talking to a Heart Health Support Service member is about sharing the thoughts, emotions and fears that you think no-one else will understand. And being a member of HS-A will introduce you to a supportive, positive and motivated group of people who will show you that you're not alone in your experience. One thing our Heart Health Support Service member does not do, is offer advice of a medical nature. If you would like to find out information about diet, medicines and other issues of a medical nature, you can access this at Australian Government - Health Insite
