The Australian Cardiovascular Health and Rehabilitation Association is the peak body which provides support and advocacy for multidisciplinary health professionals to deliver evidence-based best practice across the continuum of cardiovascular care. We aim to empower health professionals to achieve optimal and equitable outcomes for all affected by cardiovascular disease.

Our 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting will focus on celebrating Diversity, striving for Equity, and maximising Access to best-practice cardiovascular healthcare. An exciting program of keynote presentations, interactive workshops, abstracts and poster sessions will support the exchange of ideas, challenges and latest developments in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.

The program will explore challenges of providing equity to disadvantaged and under-represented groups in cardiac rehabilitation, and provide practical outcomes you can adopt to improve Diversity, Equity and Access in your service. Key topics will include:

Aboriginal people

Cultural and linguistic diversity

Low socio-economic position

Low health literacy

Rural and remote populations

Disability

Mental health

Women

Educational and networking opportunities will spark creativity and innovation, leave you feeling inspired, and create lasting connections with likeminded peers across Australia and beyond.
