Rheumatic Heart Disease program

The Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) program aims to reduce the burden of RHD in the Northern Territory (NT) and prevent acute rheumatic fever. The RHD team meets this challenge by working closely with patients and their families through education, training, support of community members and health staff.

Contact the RHD team through the CDC contacts.

NT RHD register

The Northern Territory (NT) RHD program supports people with RHD and works to reduce recurrences of ARF.  One of the important ways it does this is through monitoring a register of people with RHD in the NT.

To join the register fill out the rheumatic heart disease register access application form.

If you are already signed up, go to the NT rheumatic heart disease register to login.
