Welcome to HeartWest

Founded in 2001 by cardiologists living and working in the west of Melbourne for the  benefit of underserviced areas of the west and northwest, HeartWest has grown into a premier cardiology service in these areas of Melbourne and beyond. As one of the first cardiology group practices to form in Australia, HeartWest has maintained a focus on an affordable, accessible and high quality service to ensure optimal patient experience and outcome.

Melbourne’s west and northwest has one of the highest rates of heart disease in Victoria and HeartWest is proud to be the pioneer of establishing comprehensive cardiac services in these areas. Our operations and outcomes are the envy of other cardiology groups.
