A $150,000 grant from the NSW Government will be spent on raising awareness about heart health by encouraging community sport participation.
The #HeartHealthMatters campaign by The Heartbeat of Football Foundation recognises community sport as key to promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Funds will go, in part, towards 40 nurse-led heart health screening test activations at metro and regional sporting grounds in high-risk areas, of which 85% are in regional areas across all 10 NSW Govt areas.
The campaign will also support supplementary government initiatives such as the Local Sport Defibrillator Program and Federal Budget relief programs such as GP bulk billing, hospital emergency department upgrades to support overall health and wellbeing in regional areas. ML
