What We Do

What We Do

Because looking after your heart can take a village.

Village was created to make specialist cardiovascular care feel more connected, personal and accessible.
Village was created to make specialist cardiovascular care feel more connected, personal and accessible.

Our team has particular expertise caring for people with congenital and complex cardiovascular conditions, where care can continue for many years and involve much more than the heart alone. We look beyond a diagnosis and support the different things that help people live well. You don’t need a complex heart condition to come to Village. We also provide expert care assessment and ongoing care for a broad range of common cardiovascular conditions and concerns.

By train

By light rail

The L1 Inner West Light Rail runs through nearby Glebe. The walk from the light rail is longer than from the nearest bus stops or Newtown Station, so this option is most convenient if the light rail already runs close to where you’re travelling from.
