Cardiac rehabilitation

MonashHeart and Southern Health provide cardiac rehabilitation programs to assist people who have experienced a cardiac event or heart disease to recover faster and return to full and productive lives. The goals of our program is to improve your physical fitness, increase your understanding of heart disease and provide support for any lifestyle changes we encourage you to make.

If you have any of the following, then a referral to a cardiac rehabilitation program would benefit you:

  • Angina
  • Heart attack 
  • Many risk factors for heart disease e.g. high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking
  • Following coronary artery bypass surgery
  • Following heart valve replacement surgery or procedure 

You will need a doctor to refer you to one of our programs. Your GP or specialist can make a referral using our CRP referral form and needs to be provided prior to booking your cardiac rehabilitation program.
