World Hepatitis Day
Join us in the fight to eliminate hepatitis
World Hepatitis Day 2021 SWITCH Grants
For World Hepatitis Day 2021, Hepatitis Queensland is providing grants of up to $3000, $500 and $100 to organisations and groups to think outside the box and deliver innovative online activities or face-to-face events and reach communities safely. You know what your communities need and how to reach out to them locally.
The theme for this year “Get Liver Smart” encourages communities to prioritise their liver health this July by making a simple visit to their GP and asking for a hepatitis and liver health check.
