World Hepatitis Day
HEP CAN’T WAIT
Every year, Queensland lives are lost to hepatitis, and many of these could have been prevented.
Vaccination and treatment is available for hepatitis B. There is a simple and effective cure for hepatitis C.
It’s time to get tested. Don’t let hepatitis go unnoticed.
Over 63,000 Queenslanders have hepatitis B or C
Most people with hepatitis don’t feel sick
Hepatitis tests are not part of regular blood tests

Hepatitis C is commonly transmitted through blood-to-blood contact such as injecting drug use, unsterile tattooing and body piercing.
Liver disease
There are over 100 types of liver disease ranging from mild damage to severe scarring and failure.
