Her Heart is Australia s Peak Body and the only organisation dedicated exclusively to women s heart health. Its mission is to raise awareness, promote prevention, and reduce the death toll of heart disease among Australian women. Every hour, Australia loses one woman to heart disease one in three female deaths making it the leading cause of death among women, surpassing all cancers combined. However, over 80% of heart disease is preventable through awareness, understanding risk factors, and adopting healthier lifestyles. Since its launch, Her Heart has expanded its national and global reach, now present in 195 countries. In just six months, Her Heart connected with women in 55 countries, rapidly growing to reach over 81,000 women in Australia, 28,000 in the US, 5,500 in India and the UK, and thousands more across Hong Kong, Canada, New Zealand, and Germany.
