Hepatitis Awareness Week (21–28 July 2025) and World Hepatitis Day (28 July) are fast approaching, shining a spotlight on the urgent need to address hepatitis B and C in our communities.
In response, NSW Multicultural HIV and Hepatitis Service (MHAHS) is leading a campaign to raise awareness about liver health and promote access to testing and treatment—especially in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. The campaign supports Australia’s national goal to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030. However, experts warn that current progress is too slow to meet this target. The time to act is now.
Multilingual resources, free education sessions and webinar
Our campaign features a multilingual toolkit which brings together a wide range of free, in-language resources, including posters, brochures, videos, and social media content in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Samoan, Tongan, Nepali, Mongolian, Khmer, Vietnamese and more.
Community groups in the Sydney Local Health District can also book free education sessions with us on hepatitis B and hepatitis C, available in multiple languages and tailored to local communities.
As part of the campaign, community and health workers are invited to attend a free online webinar, The ABC of Liver Health. This informative session will cover the basics of hepatitis B and C, the importance of liver health, and how to support testing and care—especially within CALD communities. The webinar is a valuable opportunity to build awareness, ask questions, and access practical, multilingual resources that can be shared with local communities.
