Cricket Australia (CA) and the Shane Warne Legacy (SWL) are proud to continue raising awareness for heart health during the NRMA Insurance Boxing Day Test over the next two years.
Fans can participate in free Shane Warne Legacy Health Checks, provided by SiSU Health with support from the Victorian Government, at 52 stations around the MCG—symbolising Shane Warne’s age at his passing.
The SWL Health Check is a quick, self-serve medical-grade health assessment measuring key metrics such as blood pressure, BMI, resting heart rate, and an estimate of heart age. This year, it also includes clinician-led blood glucose and cholesterol checks for higher-risk participants.
Following a successful launch at last year’s Test, where over 7,600 people completed checks, this initiative has expanded to over double the number of stations. Fans can also access tests at Priceline Pharmacies nationwide.
In addition to health checks, spectators are encouraged to honour Warne by wearing floppy hats and tipping their hats at 3.50 pm, acknowledging his Test cap number.
Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley said, “We’re thrilled to continue this partnership, which celebrates Shane’s legacy and raises critical awareness of heart health. We hope to see even more fans take advantage of the expanded health check stations this year.”
SWL CEO Helen Nolan added, “Shane would be humbled by the love and respect shown to him. These health checks have already made a significant impact, helping countless Australians make healthier lifestyle choices to reduce the risks of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.”
The Shane Warne Legacy honours Warne’s extraordinary contributions to the game and society, fostering corporate partnerships and raising funds for impactful community initiatives.
SiSU Health provides free, accurate, and convenient health checks to empower Australians to monitor and improve their health.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
