Supporting Each Other, One Heart at a Time
At Hearts4heart, we understand that being diagnosed with heart disease can be overwhelming. Our Heart Buddy Program is designed to connect patients who want someone to share their journey with, offering support, understanding, and companionship from someone who truly understands the challenges you’re facing.
Buddy Program Overview
The Hearts4heart Heart Buddy Program pairs individuals diagnosed with heart disease with a buddy- someone who has gone through or is currently navigating a similar journey. Through this program, we aim to foster meaningful connections, reduce isolation, and provide emotional support. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or managing long-term care, having a buddy by your side can make all the difference.
If you would like to be paired with a Heart Buddy, please email Hearts4heart at [email protected] or call 1300 343 278.
What the Program Offers:
How It Works:
Have you been living with heart disease and feel ready to support someone else? You can make a huge difference in someone’s life by volunteering as a buddy. Your experience can provide valuable comfort and insights, helping others feel less alone in their journey.

Benefits of Joining:
If you’re interested in joining as a participant or a volunteer buddy, we’d love to hear from you. Contact our team directly at [email protected].
Please note we not provide medical advice. This program combines emotional support, peer guidance, and practical companionship, designed to make a positive impact on the lives of those dealing with heart disease.
Heart Buddy Meetings are supportive, virtual peer-led gatherings designed to foster connection and promote heart health. Through this program, we foster meaningful catchups and arrange engaging guest speakers. These meetings provide a safe, welcoming space for sharing experiences, discussing challenges, and learning valuable strategies for managing heart disease.
Led by trained Heart Buddy Champions with the support of the Hearts4heart team, the sessions are designed to foster understanding, community, and empowerment, providing attendees with the tools and encouragement they need to navigate their heart health journey with confidence.
If you are a Heart Buddy Champion and would like help to facilitate a Heart Buddy Virtual Meeting, please contact [email protected].
