Mobile Cardiac Screening in Cairns

The HeartScreen delivers mobile cardiac screening to Cairns and Far North Queensland. Our service brings hospital grade echocardiography to regional communities where specialist cardiac care is limited and wait times are dangerously long.

Cairns and Far North Queensland face some of the worst cardiac care wait times in Australia. In regional Queensland, 70 per cent of urgent Category 1 heart patients were not seen within the clinically recommended timeframe last year.

We service Cairns, the Atherton Tablelands, Port Douglas, Innisfail, and surrounding Far North Queensland communities.
