World Hepatitis Day
28 July 2026

On 11 June, Health Promotion Team staff members Neylan and Alain represented LiverWELL at the Celebrating Multicultural Seniors event hosted by the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria (ECCV).

With funding from HepLink, Hepatitis Australia, LiverWELL delivered more than 22 targeted outreach activities to Chinese and Vietnamese communities across Victoria.

Keep an eye out for grassroots, community-driven and local organisation initiatives for this year’s World Hepatitis Day!

World Hepatitis Day on 28 July marks a global day of action to raise awareness of hepatitis and its global impact. This year, we’re asking you to Take the Next Step by getting tested and treated for viral hepatitis.

A national survey aimed at improving understanding and early action of the chronic liver condition ‘MASLD’ has launched today, giving 1 in 3 Australians affected by the widely misunderstood disease a national voice.

Living Well was delighted to partner with NEWGENs at Braybrook Community Hub to bring together members of the Vietnamese community for a meaningful consultation workshop.

Maryaan Essa recently returned to the community to deliver another engaging hepatitis B education session at Newbury Children and Community Centre.

LiverWELL calls on Australia to support WHO resolution recognising steatotic liver disease as a significant public health concern.

On Wednesday 13 May 2026, our communications team at LiverWELL joined communications professionals from hepatitis member organisations across Australia in Melbourne for the Communications Community of Practice Workshop hosted by Hepatitis Australia.
