THE Federal Government has announced the commitment of $150,000 for the establishment of a National Childhood Heart Disease Action Plan to be jointly developed with HeartKids.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said the plan would focus on uncovering new treatments and care options for the more than 64,000 Australians affected by congenital or childhood heart disease.
"The plan will be a co-ordinated policy for this disease and it recognises the fantastic work already undertaken by HeartKids," Hunt said.
"It will also drive collaboration in research priorities, education, services and community awareness to better support people living with this condition."
