Volunteer of the Month, April 2020
About me
My name is David. I am GP in Broadmeadows helping my local community.
What tips do I have for new volunteers?
Find the cause you believe you can make a difference in.
What inspired me to become a Hepatitis Victoria volunteer?
As a GP I spend my time creating awareness and educating members of the community about viral hepatitis, in particular hepatitis B among the Vietnamese Community.
During COVID-19, I wanted to continue this work by contributing to online liver webinars on social media with Dr Nhan and Hepatitis Victoria’s Helen Tran.

Contribute what you can when you can.
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.
