Stroke Foundation is a 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. The Australia's Biggest Blood Pressure Check campaign supports the Taskforce's goal by encouraging Australians of all ages to get a blood pressure check at their local pharmacy or general practice during the month of May.
