Take Heart 2025 - It's Time to Eliminate Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD)

Описание: A 30-minute version of the new Take Heart film will release for free on YouTube and Facebook around Close the Gap Day in March 2025, followed by a feature film for broad, general release around NAIDOC Week in July 2025.

We’re hoping that people just like you will gather around the film on Close the Gap Day this year on Thursday, March 20, 2025.

Using this 30-minute film to help all Australians better understand what RHD is, and how we can eliminate it, will contribute to a life-long legacy we can all be proud of.


Take Heart is a film-led advocacy campaign that has been committed to eliminating RHD (Rheumatic Heart Disease) in Australia for over a decade.

During this time, we have seen huge improvements in general awareness of RHD, alongside the establishment of dozens of community-led programs offering hope for the future.

However, at least 2 young people die from this preventable disease in Australia every week. Most of these young people identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders. Tragically, Rheumatic Heart Disease has the greatest negative impact on the life-expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Join us as we fight to eliminate RHD by 2030.
