About Organisation

Our core business is providing 24/7 health information, advice and referral for all Australians no matter where they live and when they need help. Funded by government, Healthdirect Australia is the national virtual public health information service.

We work towards the health priorities of our Commonwealth and state funders to improve the health of Australians.

We provide trusted health services that are easily accessible via multiple channels — helplines, video call solutions, websites, service finders, mobile applications and social media networks.

Our virtual health services are for all Australians anywhere and anytime. For those who might struggle to access face-to-face health services, particularly in the after-hours period and in rural and remote regions, our services are essential healthcare alternatives.

HeartKids is not affiliated with this support group or organisation. It is the responsibility of the individual and/or their carer(s) to determine whether this or any other organisation on this website may provide some benefit to them.
