No hospital. No waitlist. No cost. Australia's leading mobile heart testing service comes directly to you, with results reviewed by specialist cardiologists.
Heart disease does not always announce itself. Many Australians live with undiagnosed heart conditions that could be detected, and treated, with a simple heart test. You should consider heart testing if any of the following apply to you.
You are over 45 years old, or over 30 if you are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. Heart disease risk increases significantly with age, and early screening saves lives.
A parent, sibling, or close relative has had a heart attack, stroke, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death. Genetic factors play a major role in heart disease risk.
You have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, or chronic kidney disease. These conditions significantly increase your risk of heart failure.
Shortness of breath, chest tightness, unexplained fatigue, dizziness, swollen ankles, or a racing heartbeat. These may be signs of an underlying heart condition.
You smoke or have smoked, drink alcohol regularly, lead a sedentary lifestyle, or experience high levels of stress. These factors compound your cardiovascular risk over time.
You live outside a major city and have limited access to specialist cardiac services. The Heart Screen brings hospital-grade heart testing to regional and remote communities across Australia.
Getting a heart test with The Heart Screen is straightforward. There are no complicated forms, no hospital appointments, and no out-of-pocket costs.
Visit your GP and ask for a referral for a heart test (echocardiogram). If you are over 45 or have risk factors, your GP can refer you on the spot.
Our specialist cardiac sonographer travels to your GP clinic, aged care facility, or community location with hospital-grade equipment. No hospital visit needed.
The heart test takes 30-45 minutes. You lie comfortably while the sonographer uses ultrasound to capture detailed images of your heart. No needles. No radiation.
Your results are reviewed by a consultant cardiologist and sent to your GP within 24-48 hours. If anything needs attention, your GP will discuss next steps with you.
An echocardiogram is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in cardiology. It provides a real-time, moving image of your heart, revealing conditions that blood tests and stethoscopes simply cannot detect.
Detects whether your heart is pumping effectively. Heart failure affects over 500,000 Australians, and early detection is critical to preventing hospitalisation and improving quality of life.
Identifies problems with your heart's four valves, including narrowing (stenosis) and leaking (regurgitation). Valve disease is common in older Australians and often goes undetected.
Detects thickening, enlargement, or stiffening of the heart muscle. Cardiomyopathy can be inherited and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in younger Australians.
Reveals congenital heart defects, holes in the heart, and other structural issues that may have gone undetected since birth. Many adults live with undiagnosed structural heart conditions.
We bring hospital-grade equipment directly to your GP clinic or community location.
Skip the months-long public hospital queue. We schedule your heart test promptly.
Fully bulk-billed through Medicare. No gap. No fee. No surprise bill.
We come to you, whether you are in the city, regional, or remote Australia.
The Heart Screen is a Preventia initiative, Australia's first fully mobile, bulk-billed cardiac screening service. We exist because we believe you should not have to be wealthy to know your heart is healthy.
Our specialist cardiac sonographers use the same hospital-grade echocardiography equipment found in major cardiac departments. Every scan is reviewed by a consultant cardiologist. We partner with GP clinics, aged care facilities, and communities across Australia to deliver heart testing where it is needed most, outside the hospital walls.
We are proudly partnered with Bond University, ASUM, Ageing Australia, and leading Primary Health Networks. Our mission is simple: detect heart disease before it becomes a crisis.
Not at all. An echocardiogram is completely painless. A small ultrasound probe is placed on your chest with a gel, similar to an ultrasound during pregnancy. There are no needles, no radiation, and no discomfort. Most patients find it relaxing.
No special preparation is required. You can eat, drink, and take your usual medications before the test. We recommend wearing a loose-fitting top for easy access to the chest area.
A standard echocardiogram takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes. You will be lying comfortably on an examination bed throughout the test.
Every heart test is reviewed by a qualified consultant cardiologist. The cardiologist prepares a detailed report which is sent directly to your referring GP within 24 to 48 hours.
To receive a bulk-billed heart test, you need a referral from your GP. Simply visit your doctor and ask for a referral for an echocardiogram with The Heart Screen. Your GP can also send the referral directly to us at admin@theheartscreen.com.au.
We operate across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania, with national expansion underway. Our mobile service reaches metropolitan, regional, and remote communities. Visit our Locations page to find heart testing near you.
If the cardiologist identifies a concern, your GP will receive a detailed report with recommendations. Your GP will then discuss the findings with you and arrange any further investigation or treatment. Early detection means earlier intervention, which leads to better outcomes.
You should not have to be wealthy to know your heart is healthy. Talk to your GP today and ask for a heart test with The Heart Screen.
