Hepatitis B is a very complex and difficult to understand virus. This has led to low levels of understanding and awareness within the Australian community, with many people not seeking appropriate treatment or managing their hepatitis B infection, which then places them at a greater risk of developing life- threatening liver disease.

Hepatitis Australia is the national peak body which works with Government agencies, researchers, clinicians and public health officials to help reduce the impact of hepatitis B within Australia.
