Heart disease in Australia-why early testing matters
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in Australia.
-
Over 1.3 million Australians are currently living with heart disease
-
1 in 4 deaths in Australia are due to cardiovascular disease
-
Many people experience few or no symptoms until disease is advanced
Accessibility, Awareness and Affordability are contributing factors.

Your GP may recommend heart testing if you have:
Family history of heart disease

At CardioDirect, we’re bringing high-quality, bulk-billed cardiac diagnostics directly into primary care – the frontline of healthcare – improving access, awareness, and patient outcomes.”
