Heart of Australia

Heart of Australia is a service that embodies the most innovative approach to frontline specialist medical service delivery in generations - helping people whose lives are threatened by this nation's vast distances.

Heart of Australia brings fortnightly cardiac and respiratory services to rural and remote communities across Queensland on a 25m-long custom-designed clinic- on-wheels, driven by a Kenworth K200 prime mover. Research shows cardiovascular disease is the nation's greatest killer, while its prevalence is as much as 15% higher for Australians living in rural and remote communities.

Heart of Australia is breaking the grip of distance that denies rural and remote Australians access to health services when and where they are needed most.
