Volunteer of the Month, January 2020

About me

I am a Master of Public Health student at the University of Melbourne with a background in dentistry. I would like to work in the field of health promotion after I graduate.

What inspired me to become a Hepatitis Victoria Volunteer?

My favourite Hepatitis Victoria sessions or moments

My favorite moment at Hepatitis Victoria would be during the Springvale Snowfest 2019 where I had the opportunity to spread awareness regarding hepatitis to the masses and distribute resources.

What tips do I have for new volunteers?

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.
