Liver Awareness Month

Reflecting on the past year, one thing stands out: when we come together, we create real, lasting change. That’s why we made this years theme Our Collective Impact; highlighting the strength and progress made through working side by side.

In August and September, LiverWELL Health Promotion Officers Alain and Maddie delivered 12 hepatitis B workshops at Box Hill Institute (Elgar Campus) with over 265 Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) students.

Hepatitis Australia and ASHM are urging all Australians to prioritise hepatitis B vaccinations to protect children’s long-term health.

Many young people are living with hepatitis or HIV without even knowing it, often because clear and accessible information about these conditions can be hard to find.

We’re excited to launch our new Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Information Hubs on the LiverWELL website. Developed with expert health writer Nerissa Bentley.

LiverWELL was proud to showcase its work at this year’s ASHM Conference, with staff presenting a range of initiatives that highlight the importance of lived experience, community engagement and collaboration in the hepatitis sector.

During the busy time of July and early August, LiverWELL was proud to support a range of community-led events as part of our World Hepatitis Day Incentives Program.

During the week of World Hepatitis Day, LiverWELL and the Ovens Murray Public Health Unit (OMPHU) hosted a regional forum at The Cube in Wodonga. It was our biggest in the region with more than 40 attendees!

LiverWELL was thrilled to join the Springvale Snow Festival to help raise awareness and educate the community about viral hepatitis, including hepatitis B and C. Our interactive stall was a hit with festival-goers!
