Australia has committed to eliminating hepatitis B and hepatitis C by 2030 — but we won’t get there without action.
Getting involved helps raise awareness, reduce stigma, and ensure more people are tested, vaccinated, and supported with ongoing care.
If you or someone you know is affected by viral hepatitis, support is available. Call HepLink Australia on 1800 437 222 (1800 HEP ABC) for free and confidential support.

It's time to create sustainable systems to maintain elimination.
The work on viral hepatitis doesn’t end with elimination. Long-term effort is needed to keep transmission down. Without it, there’s always a risk the numbers will rise again.

It's time to ensure no one with hepatitis C is left behind.
People who currently inject drugs remain the priority population for hepatitis C prevention and care, and strengthening community-led action for this group is essential to sustained elimination. At the same time, we must also find and treat the 84% of people who no longer inject drugs or who acquired hepatitis C through other means.

It's time to connect people with hepatitis B to long-term care.
An estimated 75,000 Australians living with hepatitis B remain undiagnosed, and less than 25% are in regular care. While childhood vaccination rates are strong, progress on all other hepatitis B elimination targets is limited. A national monitoring and care facilitation program is needed to connect people with long-term care.

It's time to prioritise hepatitis testing and treatment as cancer prevention.
Hepatitis B and C are major causes of liver cancer—the fastest-growing cause of cancer deaths in Australia. As part of cancer prevention, we must prioritise hepatitis testing and treatment and equip primary care providers to deliver this support.
