This directory presents information on cardiac rehab programs offered across Australia.
Cardiac rehabilitation helps your recovery after a heart procedure or the diagnosis of a heart condition. It also helps lower your chances of having heart problems in the future.
Cardiac rehab includes support, exercise and education that’s personalised to strengthen your heart. It helps you make long-term lifestyle changes so you can live a longer, healthier life.
Important notice regarding COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 crisis some cardiac rehabilitation services are not available.
If you have recently experienced a heart attack or angina event, please consider joining our My Heart, My Life support program.
If you work at a cardiac rehabilitation service and need to update the details provided in this directory, please email us at health@heartfoundation.org.au
