LiverWELL’s new strategy.
LiverWELL is excited to introduce our new strategic plan – 2023 to 2030. The plan was developed in conjunction with key stakeholders – people with lived experience of hepatitis and liver disease, the community, Department of Health, staff, partners and other health services.
The strategy builds on LiverWELL’s work and our existing strategies, working towards viral hepatitis elimination by 2030, in line with the State Government and National strategies, which support the World Health Organization (WHO) Hepatitis Strategy. The elimination of hepatitis B and C remains core to who and what we are.
LiverWELL has extended our vision to ‘Liver Health for all’. The positive focus on the overall health of the liver remains true to our purpose to prevent and reduce the impact of liver disease, including viral hepatitis and continuing to combat stigma.
The key pillars of our new strategy will ensure we remain focused on the areas that will have the greatest impact on liver health.
Our values of respect, inclusion, collaboration and impact have remained the same. These values are embedded and we continue to find new ways to display them in our behaviours.
Elimination of viral hepatitis will only be achieved through Community, Clinical and Research groups working together – to that end we are fully committed to partnerships and effective collaboration.
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.
