Our 2025 Annual General Meeting brought together our Board, organisational members, key stakeholders, community representatives and health sector leaders. The event began with a Welcome to Country from Elder Uncle Andrew Gardiner, followed by Maria Marshall, our then President of the Board, who spoke about LiverWELL’s achievements over the past year.
Charissa Feng from Cancer Council delivered a powerful address on the importance of using our individual strengths and collective connections to influence positive change across the health sector. Treasurer Darren O’Connor-Price provided an update on our financial reports, and Jane Little shared her heartfelt lived experience story of living with and then receiving treatment for hepatitis C.
The AGM also included a warm farewell to Board Directors Jarwid Sayed and Shane Patella, while Interim CEO Paul Bowers reflected on the past year and his time with the organisation.
We were proud to launch our new Annual Report titled Our Collective Impact, celebrating the power of community collaboration in driving meaningful change. The event was concluded by announcing the winners for the LiverWELL Annual Recognition Awards.


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.
