About Us
Our vision is to see an end to viral hepatitis by 2030. Through our education programs, community collaboration and person-centred care initiatives, we’ve made a significant difference in the lives of people living with viral hepatitis and liver disease since 1995.
About the role

One thing’s for sure – you will be making a meaningful difference every day! A typical day could include delivering education sessions to healthcare workers, providing hepatitis information over the phone to community members, and managing a network of people with lived-living experience of hepatitis B or hepatitis C as they guide our work.
