​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​NSW Health would like to understand the experience of Pasifika people and families with acute rheum​atic fever (ARF) or rheumatic heart disease (RHD).  

Your story is important.  

By sharing stories and experiences, NS​W Health aims to improve the way we care for Pasifika people and families who are diagnosed with ARF and ​RHD.

We are asking Pasifika people and families with ARF or RHD to participate in a conversation with a Pasifika health worker to talk about your family's experience. You are welcome to bring other people with you. The conversation can be in English, Samoan, or Tongan.

An $80 gift card will be provided by NSW Health as a​ thank you for your time. 

Your decision to participate or not, will not affect the care you or your family receives.​
