World Hepatitis Day – 28 July 2026
World Hepatitis Day is coming up on 28 July, and we’re inviting organisations, communities and supporters across Australia to take the next step toward eliminating viral hepatitis.
This year’s campaign theme, “Take the next step”, focuses on progress, action and moving forward together. Whether it’s taking the next step toward testing, treatment, vaccination, awareness or advocacy, every action helps build momentum toward a future free from viral hepatitis.
There are many ways to get involved - from hosting a local event or information session, to sharing campaign messages online, attending community activities, or helping raise awareness within your networks.
World Hepatitis Day is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the importance of hepatitis B and hepatitis C prevention, testing, care and prevention. In Australia, thousands of people are still living with viral hepatitis without knowing it. Early diagnosis and access to care can prevent serious liver disease and save lives.
The good news is that we have the tools to make a difference:
- Hepatitis C can be cured with highly effective treatments.
- Hepatitis B can be prevented with vaccination and managed with ongoing care and treatment.
- Testing is simple and is the first step toward support and better health outcomes.
We know that community organisations and health services play a vital role in connecting people to information, care and support. Your involvement in World Hepatitis Day helps amplify these important messages and encourages people to take action.
Ways your organisation can support World Hepatitis Day:
- Host or promote a local event, webinar or community activity
- Share information about hepatitis testing, treatment and prevention
- Encourage staff, clients and communities to learn their hepatitis status
- Share campaign messages on social media
- Display campaign materials in your workplace or service
- Partner with local health and community organisations to raise awareness
A social media toolkit and campaign resources is now available to help make participation easy. We encourage all partners to share campaign posts and help spread the message throughout July.
For free, confidential hepatitis support: HepLink 1800 437 222.
You can find campaign updates, downloadable resources and event information at: World Hepatitis Day Australia
Together, we can take the next step toward eliminating viral hepatitis in Australia.
