The secret to our success, the Heart Trucks allow us to take advanced medical equipment to patients in hard to reach locations.
Mobile Clinics, Design and Build for Outback Australia
Heart of Australia brings specialist services to rural communities on five custom-designed clinic-on-wheels, two are driven by a Kenworth K200 prime mover, one by a DAF XF 530 prime mover and our third clinic is an Isuzu FSD260.
The purpose-built, self-sufficient trailers provide several private clinic rooms, a testing room and a reception area for patients. It is wheelchair accessible and fully-air-conditioned for comfort.

HEART 1

The first 18-wheel semi-trailer mobile clinic for Heart of Australia that Dr Gomes personally-designed was launched on the 3rd of October 2014 after six years of planning and construction. It has welcomed more than 5000 GP-referred patients on its 8000km monthly visits to 13 bush communities throughout southwest and central Queensland. Rolf is proud of the evidence that Heart of Australia has so far saved more than 250 lives of rural Australians by diagnosing patients with previously undetected, critical cardiac conditions.

HEART 3

HEART 3 is a customised and purpose built Isuzu F-Series FSD260 truck. Although smaller than HEART 1 & HEART 2, it is by no means any less impressive or advanced. HEART 3 is set up to be able to do anything that HEART 1 and HEART 2 can do with the added bonus of being specialised for our new Gynaecological services. The new mini mobile clinic was created using an innovative design to condense consulting rooms and state-of-the-art equipment into a 12-metre long mobile clinic. HEART 3’s purpose is to be our Community, Events and overflow Clinic, assisting the other 2 trucks when needed but also attending other Communities and Events throughout QLD.
