Why do you need workplace heart health checks?
Heart disease remains Australia’s leading cause of death – killing 1 Australian every 30 minutes.
Help your employees reduce their risk of heart disease with our personal and confidential assessments. Our heart health checks assess the essential risk factors for cardiovascular disease and give your employees the information and resources they need to reduce their risk and improve their health and productivity.
Heart health checks are designed to provide your staff with an understanding of their current heart health status and heart disease risk. The check assesses biological and lifestyle risk factors that increase the chances of developing heart disease.
At Healthworks we offer a variety of workplace heart health checks. View our selection of checks below:

Does your workplace have healthy hearts?
While providing workplace heart health checks can target most of the modifiable risk factors for heart disease, giving some attention to heart health and providing education on prevention can be an important wake-up call for many high-risk employees. Here are a few other ways you can support a heart-smart workplace:
Implement a smoking cessation program: Smokers and those who inhale second-hand smoke in the workplace are significantly more likely to develop heart disease. Make your workplace smoke-free and provide information and support to encourage smokers to quit.
Support healthy weight management: Too much body fat, especially around the waist area, not only increases the risk of heart disease, but also some of the other contributing factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol. Support employees in maintaining a healthy weight by encouraging a healthy diet and providing opportunities for regular exercise.
Provide education on healthy living: The risk of heart disease can be significantly lowered by living a heart healthy lifestyle. In addition to smoking cessation and weight management, this includes getting active, getting good quality sleep, and following a heart healthy diet. A heart healthy diet is naturally low in saturated and trans fats, salt and added sugar but rich in wholegrains, fibre, antioxidants, and unsaturated fats.
