The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute is dedicated to finding cures for cardiovascular disease through world-class and cutting-edge medical research. The Institute's team seeks to discover better ways of understanding, diagnosing, treating, and preventing the onset of heart disease. It is committed to ensuring its research breakthroughs are rapidly translated into advances in clinical care.
The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute was founded in 1994 in honour of the legendary heart transplant surgeon Dr Victor Chang AC. In 1996, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, officially opened the institute in Sydney, Australia.
Beginning with just two scientists, it has over 230 scientists, doctors, and staff working together across 26 laboratories nationwide. It has earned its place as one of the most respected medical research facilities in the world and is renowned for the quality of its scientific discoveries.
In 2022, the Institute expanded its national footprint by establishing a new heart disease research hub at The University of Western Australia and, in 2023, established new hubs in South Western Sydney and Melbourne. This will allow researchers and scientists to accelerate life-saving discoveries that benefit all Australians and deliver international impact.
