Our impact over the past year

June 15, 2023

For over 30 years, LiverWELL has been supporting better liver health for Australians. With a vision of liver health for all, we work to support those with liver conditions and reduce the impact of liver disease and viral hepatitis.

LiverWELL’s new strategy 2023-2030 contains some ambitious goals:

  1. Eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030, in line with state, national, and WHO Hepatitis Strategies. Viral hepatitis affects around 500,000 Australians, and increasing access to testing and treatment is essential.
  2. Raising awareness of Fatty Liver Disease, which currently affects 1 in 4 Australians – a looming health crisis and economic burden. We educate and encourage people to take action, before liver damage leads to chronic disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

We have had an amazing impact in many areas over the past year.
These include:

  • 70,000 views of video content on liver health and hepatitis
  • 16,000 people reached through presentations and education sessions
  • 1300 people heard about the personal impact of liver disease from our Lived Experience Speakers
  • 180 healthcare professionals attended our regional forums
  • Users across 55 countries access liver health information from the LiverWELL app.

See our impact in these areas across the past year in our new Impact Brochure.
