Young Hearts Australia - supporting the hearts of children and the families who love them.

Ground-level, heart-to-heart support for families facing congenital heart disease.

Our Story

It starts in a hospital ward.

At Young Hearts Australia, our story doesn't start in a boardroom, it starts in a hospital ward.

We are families who have lived the unimaginable. We've faced the nightmare of handing our children over for open-heart surgery. We've navigated the maze of complex hospital systems through endless weeks and months. We've sat through devastating palliative care conversations. And some of us carry the profound, lifelong weight of saying goodbye to our forever-loved children.

This is our why.

Because we've walked these hospital corridors, we are fiercely passionate about standing beside the families who are stepping into them today. No family should have to walk this road alone.

Just as importantly, we are relentless in our pursuit of answers. We raise vital funds for research into congenital heart disease to help rewrite the future for the next generation of children.

Why We Need You

No family in crisis should go without support.

For a long time, we've quietly funded this work out of our own pockets. But the need is so much bigger than what our personal savings can cover, and no family in crisis should go without support.

That's why Young Hearts Australia was born.

To reach every family who needs us, we need a bigger community behind us. Your donation directly puts comfort, care, and practical relief into the hands of parents fighting for their child's heart.
