Hepatitis B and fatty liver disease affect the lives of many people within the Filipino community in Australia. So our Multicultural Community Educator Alain teamed up with the Filipino Australian Seniors Association Inc, to deliver a liver health and viral hepatitis session to the Filipino Community in Melbourne’s South East.
The session had a strong focus on getting tested, vaccinated and treated for viral hepatitis, as well as a Q&A section with Dr. Marilou Capati from Top End Medical Centre from Darwin. The session also highlighted the importance of working together as a community in raising awareness about eliminating viral hepatitis.
LiverWELL works with different community groups across Victoria to improve awareness of all aspects of liver health, including viral hepatitis and infection control on how to care for your liver, and prevent and manage liver disease.

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.
