Reflecting on the 4th Viral Hepatitis Round Table

On May 8, 24 passionate individuals from 13 organisations across the viral hepatitis sector came together for the fourth Viral Hepatitis Round Table (VHRT), co-hosted by Burnet Institute and LiverWELL. Held at The Living Room—a unique primary health service supporting people at risk of or experiencing homelessness—the afternoon created a powerful space for connection, reflection and forward-thinking collaboration.

The focus was on strengthening relationships, sharing successes, and having open, honest conversations about the challenges and opportunities ahead. We began by reflecting on key sector changes over the past year, before hearing insightful updates from five organisations working at the heart of the community.

Throughout the day, a shared vision emerged: that partnerships are essential to improving access to care, and that flexible and intensive responses are needed to achieve elimination.
