What if you went to get up one day, but couldn't?

People suffering from POTS miss out on so much of life and then become the missing. Help us sponsor research into POTS and provide advocacy so people living with POTS can get the treatment and support they need.

Our Mission

A brighter future for those living with POTS, through advocacy, support and research.

The Australian POTS Foundation is committed to improving outcomes for those with POTS by raising funds for improved research, advocacy and support for those living with POTS. The Foundation is currently run entirely by volunteers.  Beyond minimal running costs, all funds raised will go directly to improving research, education and support for those with POTS in Australia.

What Is POTS?

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, commonly referred to as POTS, is a complex and often misunderstood condition that affects the autonomic nervous system. This system controls things your body does automatically such as controlling your heart rate, breathing and digestion. When it’s not working correctly, it can cause a multitude of symptoms that seem unrelated to each other.

Sometimes POTS is referred to as dysautonomia, which is an umbrella term for multiple conditions that affect the autonomic nervous system.

We’re stepping up to raise awareness and funds for POTS. The diagnostic criteria for POTS includes a rise of 30 beats per minute (bpm) in heart rate upon standing. So, we’re taking the power of 30 bpm and turning it into a force for good! Find out how to join us to raise awareness of POTS in Australia.
