Australia’s Biggest Blood Pressure Check encourages Australians to know their blood pressure and understand how to manage it.
Around six million Australians have high blood pressure - and nearly half don't even know it. High blood pressure is the single biggest preventable risk factor for stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, and dementia.
And it often has no symptoms. You could feel completely fine and still be at risk. That's why this May, we're calling on all Australians to join Australia's Biggest Blood Pressure Check.
Feel fine? Your blood pressure may not be. Visit your doctor or pharmacy and get checked today.

Stroke Foundation is a co-founding member of The National Hypertension Taskforce, assembled to tackle the leading risk factor of death in Australia; high blood pressure. The Taskforce aims to increase the number of Australians with their blood pressure both treated and controlled effectively from 32% to 70% by 2030.
Stroke Foundation’s Australia’s Biggest Blood Pressure Check is supporting the global initiative May Measurement Month (delivered by Hypertension Australia) and helping the Taskforce to reach its goal.
