Outreach Heart Failure Diagnostic Clinic

The Outreach Heart Failure Diagnostic Clinics aim to provide timely and affordable access to early detection, assessment and management of heart failure, improving the quality of life. 

Comprehensive heart failure care close to home

These clinics offer community-based screening, assessment, and diagnostic testing for patients identified by their GP as being at elevated risk or experiencing symptoms of heart failure. Referred patients receive:

• A comprehensive cardiac assessment

• Echocardiogram (ECHO) testing for heart function evaluation

• Self-management support and education

• Specialist follow-up to ensure ongoing care

Ongoing care is coordinated with the patient’s local GP, providing education and guidance on optimal heart failure management.

Clinic Locations & Specialist Support

Clinics are held twice a month at local general practices and Aboriginal Medical Services across the region. These clinics are supported by:

• MLHD Clinical Nurse Consultants

• Sonographers and private cardiac physiologists

• Cardiac Advanced Trainees and Cardiologists (in person or via telehealth)

Delivered in partnership with Roy Cardiology and Riverina Cardiology, the program is funded under COAG 19(2) and facilitated through Living Well, Your Way.

By bringing specialist heart failure care closer to communities, these clinics ensure earlier intervention, better patient outcomes, and stronger support for long-term management.
