About Us
About Healthcare Heartbeat:
Working with Australian healthcare professionals since 2005 has given us at insight into the sector and the challenges that healthcare workers face daily. Healthcare Heartbeat addresses these specific challenges, aiming to inspire positive change to a workforce at breaking point.
Healthcare Heartbeat unites businesses that offer mental health and wellbeing services tailored for healthcare and emergency services workers. These reputable businesses and accredited programs have been specially selected with the recognition that 'not one size fits all' when it comes to the sustainable wellbeing of our workforce. Through Healthcare Heartbeat, healthcare and emergency services workers can access a range of mental and physical fitness training, self‑development courses, retreats, experiences, and meal delivery services. Healthcare and Emergency Services workers can also apply for grants to access these services for free. Healthcare Heartbeat is a subsidiary of World Youth International.

At the heart of all our work is a commitment to community‑led, sustainable development projects, and a belief in the power of volunteers to create real impact.

Australians are ready to give back to our healthcare and emergency services workers but up until now they have been unsure how.
THIS is how! Healthcare Heartbeat is calling on corporate partners and individuals to provide sponsorship packages that allow healthcare and emergency services workers to access a range of vital services through our platform.
