For Health Professionals

Often, there are no symptoms, allowing the virus to remain undetected for many years, potentially leading to severe liver damage. Early detection and treatment are crucial and can save lives.

Hepatitis B and C are major causes of liver cancer, the fastest-growing cause of cancer deaths in Australia. However, with highly effective treatments now available, we have the chance to virtually eliminate these diseases. As health professionals, your role is pivotal in this mission.

Prevent through vaccination or manage through regular monitoring and treatment if needed.

Simple daily tablets for 8-12 weeks can cure approximately 95% of people, with minimal side effects.
