As the peak patient-led heart organisation in Australia and New Zealand, Hearts4heart is proud to lead the way in connecting lived experience with research to improve outcomes for people living with heart disease.
We are regularly approached by stakeholders, including researchers and institutions, seeking patient voices to shape the design, direction, and delivery of cardiovascular research and clinical guidelines. Each week, we receive requests for input into studies, advisory boards, committees, clinical trials, and consultations—highlighting the growing recognition of the value that informed and meaningful lived experience brings.
Through our Hearts4heart Advocacy Training Academy, we equip advocates with lived experience of heart conditions to confidently support and contribute to policy, health system design, and research initiatives. They take on active roles in advisory and decision-making bodies, provide insight into guideline development, and influence policy and advocacy efforts. These trained advocates play a critical role in ensuring that studies and health strategies are patient-centred, practical, and reflective of real-world needs.
If you’re a stakeholder or researcher looking to partner with lived experience advocates, or a patient interested in contributing to meaningful change through Hearts4heart, we’d love to hear from you.
