What we do:

The Heart and Lung Transplant Foundation of Western Australia Inc is a non-government, not-for-profit organisation, based in Western Australia. As a charitable organisation, the Foundation relies on fundraising, donations and sponsorship to fund its work.

Providing essential heart and lung equipment for Royal Perth Hospital
Raising awareness of heart and lung disease and organ donation
While we are a small not-for-profit organisation, we are energetic, and over the last eight years the Foundation has been able to make an impact on the heart and lung transplant community. The Foundation enjoys collaborative relationships with a number of stakeholder groups including:

Members of the Heart and Lung Transplant Foundation

📣 COMMUNITY NOTICE | INFORMATION ONLY

More support for regional WA patients travelling to Perth for specialist healthcare

The WA Government has announced an expansion of Country Patient Health Support (Country PatHS) to help more regional patients who need extra support during their healthcare journey.

A phased rollout will begin in November 2026, starting in the Great Southern, followed by the South West and Wheatbelt. The service already operates in the Kimberley, Pilbara, Goldfields and Mid West.

Country PatHS supports eligible patients with complex needs by helping coordinate their healthcare journey, access accommodation, connect with transport and other services, and stay connected with family and community while away from home.

💙 You don’t have to face it alone.

WA Mental Health Week runs from 4–11 October, with this year’s theme “Taking control in the face of change.”

For those awaiting a transplant, recipients, carers and families, change can bring many emotions. Whatever stage of the journey you’re at, your mental wellbeing matters.

This week, take a moment to:
💛 Check in with yourself and someone you care about.
💛 Make time for a conversation or something you enjoy.
💛 Reach out for support when things feel difficult.

You don’t need to have all the answers—or face every challenge on your own.

With care from the Heart & Lung Transplant Foundation WA.
