Improving Access to Cardiac Care
At Advara HeartCare, our purpose is to improve Australia’s heart health. As demand for cardiac testing continues to grow, we’re expanding our satellite service network to bring care closer to local communities.
By partnering with general practices and medical centres, we’re making it easier for patients to access timely cardiac testing without the inconvenience of travelling to larger centres. Our goal is simple: reach more patients, reduce barriers to care, and support better heart health outcomes across Australia.

Making Cardiac Testing More Accessible
We encourage bulk-billing for Primary Care cardiac testing services wherever possible. By reducing financial barriers, we can help more patients access the cardiac care they need, when they need it.
Billing arrangements may vary depending on location and service availability.
Trusted by Practices Across Australia
Our remote cardiac testing services are already supporting patients through a growing network of general practices and healthcare providers.

Mobile Echocardiogram and Holter Services
Learn how our mobile diagnostic services can support your patients with convenient access to specialist cardiac testing and help streamline care for your practice.
Echocardiograms
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive test that assesses cardiac structure and function. An echo is a useful and often first line diagnostic test for a range of clinical indications, as well as a screening tool for pathology that may remain clinically silent. Utilisation of echocardiography helps to identify and diagnose heart disease, guide effective treatment plans and improve patient outcomes.
It can be hard for patients to go off-site for testing, so we will bring the testing services to your clinic weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on the volume of referrals generated by your clinic. Advara HeartCare will bring the portable equipment to your practice, and a qualified cardiac sonographer will utilise an otherwise empty clinic room to perform the testing.
Our 100% cloud-based image archiving and reporting solution allows live transfer of patient images for real-time review by our specialist Cardiologists. Clinics will also have access to this web-based portal, to be able to easily review the images and reports if required. Once reported by the cardiologist, the reports will be transferred to your practice management software by secure HL7 messaging.
Holter Monitoring
For patients suspected of having a cardiac arrhythmia, Holter monitoring provides a continuous recording of a patient’s heart rhythm over 24-48 hours, and it helps detect and diagnose abnormal heart rhythms or conduction issues that may go unnoticed during a standard ECG test.
This service enables the integration of Holter monitoring into your clinic as part of your standard weekly workflow, without the need to send patients offsite for testing. We provide you with all the hardware, software, resources and training for your staff (nurse or admin) to be able to offer Holter monitoring locally to the convenience of your patients.
- Once you sign up for the service, we will send the monitor and resources to your clinic.
- Training will be provided to your team to ensure smooth and efficient running of your service.
- Your staff will set up and apply the monitor to the patient.
- Clinician-friendly reports will be returned to your practice management software within 24 hours of the device data being downloaded.
- Patients will remain in the comfort of your clinic while receiving access to high-quality cardiac care.

How often do you attend to do echos?

How do I get started?
Enquire above, and one of our team members will contact you with further details.
Can Our Clinic Offer Bulk-Billed Echocardiograms?
Bulk billing may be available for eligible patients receiving an echocardiogram through a participating primary care clinic. Medicare and referral requirements apply, so practices should confirm current eligibility and billing arrangements when coordinating the service.
Does The Service Include Stress Echocardiograms?
The satellite service described on this page currently focuses on resting echocardiograms and Holter monitoring. Practices requiring a stress echocardiogram for a patient can refer to Advara HeartCare for information about available testing locations, referral requirements and applicable billing arrangements.
