On the Road with "Heart of Australia"

Heart of Australia is an organization that delivers specialist medical investigation and treatment to remote communities across Queensland, Australia.

Heart of Australia is an organization that delivers monthly specialist medical investigation and treatment clinics to regional, rural and remote area communities across Queensland, Australia. Its customized road trains – specialist medical clinics-on-wheels – each travel about 100,000 km per year on the road, covering an area of more than 450,000 square kilometers. Heart of Australia is breaking the grip of distance that denies rural and remote-area Australians access to regular cardiac, endocrine and respiratory services when and where they are needed most.
