Stroke of Genius

We are ‘celebrating the brain’ and the genius inside us all with a new initiative - Stroke of Genius.

Stroke of Genius is an online competition inviting Australians to share their ‘light bulb’ moment. These bright ideas might not be ground-breaking or have the potential to change the world, but recognise the creative ability of the brain.

Help us make stroke a thing of the past.

AF in Australia

Growing burden of AF in Australia

In response to alarming results from recent research findings, we have released a report which shows the growing burden of AF in Australia is significant.

Atrial fibrillation costs the Australian health system more than $1.25 billion every year and more than 64 per cent of these costs are a direct result of AF related strokes, heart failure or premature death.
