Researchers at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute are fiercely committed to discovering better ways to diagnose, treat, cure and importantly prevent heart disease.
But we know all too well that we cannot stop the heart break alone. None of it would be possible without your vital support and there are many ways you can help us achieve our vision for all Australians.

This kind gesture will help scientists at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute to develop enduring treatments and preventions for heart disease.
If you would like friends and mourners to make a donation to the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in lieu of flowers, you may wish to include this request in your loved one’s funeral notice. Please consider the following wording:

Once we have been advised of your wish for donations instead of flowers, we will arrange for Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute In Memoriam donation envelopes to be available at the funeral. These envelopes include a donation form and once they have been completed they should be collected and returned to us and the donations will be processed. We will send a tax deductible receipt to everyone who has provided their details.
Donate to heart research now. Life-saving heart research depends on support from people like you.
