The HEART Party (Health, Environment, Accountability, Rights, Transparency) is an Australian political party.[lower-alpha 1] It was founded in August 2023 as a result of a merger of the Health Australia Party and Informed Medical Options Party.[2]

The party announced its merger in a Facebook video, with both parties saying the decision to merge was made due to their similar policies.[2]

The 'HEART' acronym was first used by Informed Medical Options at the 2023 New South Wales state election.[3]

As of October 2023, the party's registration with the New South Wales Electoral Commission and Victorian Electoral Commission is pending.[4]
