Question 6

Is this a charity event? Where do the funds go?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All funds raised at the gala go directly to funding free preventative cardiac screenings for Australians, particularly in aged care facilities and regional communities. The HeartScreen aims to prevent sudden cardiac death through early detection and accessible screening.

Question 7

How is The HeartScreen different from a Heart Health Check?

Accepted Answer

A standard Heart Health Check (Medicare Item 699) is a GP risk assessment that evaluates blood pressure, cholesterol, lifestyle factors, and family history. It does not include any cardiac imaging. The HeartScreen goes further by providing actual diagnostic imaging — including echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound), 12-lead ECG, and 24-hour Holter monitoring — delivered on-site to aged care facilities, GP clinics, and communities. These imaging tests can detect structural heart disease, valvular abnormalities, heart failure, and arrhythmias that a standard Heart Health Check cannot identify. All HeartScreen services are 100% bulk-billed through Medicare.

Question 8

Does The HeartScreen provide mobile echocardiograms to aged care facilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The HeartScreen delivers hospital-grade mobile echocardiography directly to aged care facilities and nursing homes across Australia. Our cardiac sonographers come on-site with portable ultrasound equipment, eliminating the need to transport elderly residents to hospital. Every scan is reviewed by a specialist cardiologist, with results returned within 24 to 48 hours. The service is 100% bulk-billed through Medicare — no cost to the patient and no cost to the facility.

Question 9

What cardiac conditions can The HeartScreen detect in aged care residents?

Accepted Answer

The HeartScreen's mobile echocardiography and ECG services can detect heart failure, valvular heart disease (including aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation), atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy, left ventricular hypertrophy, pericardial effusion, and other structural cardiac abnormalities common in elderly Australians. Early detection of these conditions in aged care residents can prevent sudden cardiac events, reduce hospitalisations, and improve quality of life.

Question 10

How can my aged care facility book The HeartScreen?

Accepted Answer

Aged care facility managers can book The HeartScreen by visiting theheartscreen.com.au, calling 1300 043 278, or emailing admin@theheartscreen.com.au. We coordinate directly with your facility to schedule on-site screening days. GPs can also send referrals to admin@theheartscreen.com.au. There is no cost to the facility — all services are bulk-billed through Medicare.
