November 20, 2020

Jules Cassidy has been an advocate for viral hepatitis, harm reduction, and mental health for decades.

She lived with hepatitis C from as early as the 1980’s, and was cured just a few years ago.

Jules reflects on how hepatitis C and the stigma that sometimes came with it added to the many complexities of her life.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands where we work - the lands of the Woi-Wurrung Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. We express our gratitude to them for their continued care and curation of these lands and waters. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

LiverWELL observes and honours the Kulin Nation's intrinsic connection to land, sky and water, and the creator Bunjil. LiverWELL is committed to being led and informed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders on bridging health outcomes for communities and improving liver health.
