Hearts of Hope Australia is a non-profit organisation that was setup in 2002 by a group of families with HLHS children. For two years we operated as the Australian HLHS Information Network (AHIN). It was decided to formalise our group so we could provide better support for families.
In July 2004, the AHIN support network was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee and renamed to Hearts of Hope Australia. It was also registered as a Health Promotion Charity with DGR Status at that time. Hearts of Hope Australia is also registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC).
Our organisation is managed by a Board of Directors and the day to day operations are co-ordinated by the HoH Executive Committee. Our officeholders are unpaid volunteers who are elected at each Annual General Meeting. Current Officeholders are detailed in the tabs below.
