What Is The Heart Wellness Program?

The Heart Wellness program is the leading program established to prevent or treat those with heart disease across our 9 sites in New South Wales. The program is our modern approach to cardiac rehab, with a specialised cardiac team attending to your individual needs in our state of the art rehab facilities. Once enrolled into the program you get access to all the members of a cardiac team in one location which includes; the Cardiac Nurse, Exercise Physiologist, Physiotherapist, Dietician, Occupational Therapist and Psychologist, who are all there to maximise your heart health and provide you with the very best Heart Wellness program experience in the country.

Is The Heart Wellness Program For Inpatients Or Outpatients?

The Heart Wellness program is the only program of its kind to offer all three phases of cardiac rehabilitation. We cater for an inpatient (Phase I) program, for those who require intense rehabilitation for their heart condition. We have an outpatient (Phase II) program which is a 3-day a week program over

6-weeks which is an individualized lifestyle and exercise intervention in conjunction with weekly education sessions by our cardiac team. Finally, we also offer a maintenance (Phase III) program for those who finish our outpatient phase II program which is made up of regular phone-calls and follow up assessments throughout the remainder of the year to help you with your long-term transition at home and within the community.
