Help Us Improve Heatwave Support

Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University

Researchers at Macquarie University are seeking Australian adults aged 18 years and older who have a chronic heart, lung or kidney condition, diabetes, or high blood pressure to participate in a study evaluating a new heatwave text messaging service. Study participants will receive text messages with information about heat-related health risks and ways to stay safe during the 2026–2027 summer. They will be asked to complete short online surveys about their experiences. Participants will have the chance to win one of three gift vouchers valued at $200, $150 or $100. Please complete a brief screening survey initially to assess eligibility if interested in participating in the study. For additional information contact: Email: mqheattrial@mq.edu.au Go to survey
