The Hepatitis B Visa and Migration FAQ is now available as a downloadable PDF in English, Arabic, Khmer, Vietnamese, and Simplified Chinese. This resource provides clear, accessible information about visa health requirements related to hepatitis B, helping individuals and families navigate the often stressful process of visa health assessments.

Developed as a collaboration between Hepatitis Australia and LiverWELL, the PDF resource consolidates expert guidance and practical information into a format that can be easily understood and shared.

The resource addresses common concerns, including the mandatory health assessments by the Department of Home Affairs, and aims to reduce fear and uncertainty by providing reliable, evidence-based information.

LiverWELL welcomes the WHO Executive Board’s draft resolution recognising steatotic liver disease (including MASLD) as a critical component of the global NCD agenda.

MASLD is a metabolic liver condition affecting 1 in 3 Australians and is closely connected to rising rates of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and liver and other cancers.

This proposed resolution is an important step toward integrating liver health into national prevention, early detection, and equitable care.

We’re proud to continue driving national action through the MASLD Action Network and to work alongside government, clinicians, researchers, and communities to make liver health a public health priority in Australia.

LiverWELL recently partnered with the Chinese Cancer and Chronic Illness Society to deliver our Elevating Community Insights Workshops at their centre in Box Hill.

With thanks to Dorothy Yiu OAM and the Society for their generous support and collaboration, 10 community members joined us across two sessions for the Mandarin and Cantonese communities.

Our Health Promotion Officers shared key hepatitis B information, from testing and vaccination to treatment options and tackling stigma, while exploring the World Health Organization global goals to eliminate viral hepatitis. Through resource reviews and Wish Balloons, participants shared ideas to strengthen community support for people living with or at risk of hepatitis B.

We look forward to continuing this work with at risk communities to help eliminate hepatitis and reduce stigma.

Showing our livers some love this Valentines Day!

It’s that special, romantic time of year again! Chocolates, candy hearts… and maybe a couple of drinks. But while you might be busy showing that special someone some love, don’t forget to show your liver some love too.

There are a lot of ways you can make this Valentines Day liver approved. Try switching to sugar free dark chocolate for something a little lighter. Instead of champagne, try herbal tea with berries and rose petals. Even if you do decide to indulge, an after-dinner walk is a fantastic option for both digestion and stress reduction.

A little balance goes a long way this Valentine’s Day!

4 February 2026 is World Cancer Day, a reminder to come together and take action against cancer. This year’s theme, United by Unique, recognises that behind every cancer diagnosis is a human story of resilience, grief, hope, and healing.

Liver cancer is one of the fastest growing causes of cancer death in Australia, yet around 65% of liver cancer deaths are potentially preventable.

Untreated hepatitis B and C, and steatotic liver disease (fatty liver disease), are major risk factors. With awareness, simple lifestyle changes, regular testing, and early treatment, we can change this.

If you are worried about your liver health or think you may be at risk, talk to your doctor and get tested. Early treatment can significantly reduce your risk of liver cancer.

“The liver is the body’s chemical factory; it gets rid of all the bad chemicals in our body and makes almost all of the good ones essential for life”. Dr Paul Gow, Gastroenterologist

Your liver is the powerhouse of your body – processing almost everything you eat and drink. It cleans your blood and helps with energy and digestion, fights infection, and gets rid of harmful toxins.

A healthy liver performs over 500 vital functions for our over-all health. Which means that if you take care of your liver it will take care of you!

Sharing this post about an excellent new Community of Practice from the INHSU (International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users).

Across regional, rural and remote Australia, many people supporting clients who use drugs are experiencing the same thing: hepatitis C care matters, but it’s competing with countless other demands.

Alongside Burnet Institute's Eliminate C Australia (ECA II) team and a national steering committee, the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU) has designed a Community of Practice that brings together people doing similar work in similar environments to share ideas, build connections and strengthen the path to elimination in the places where it’s most needed.

𝗕𝘆 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹:
• Be invited to six short, practical webinars — with resources delivered after each session
• Connect with colleagues across Australia who face similar challenges
• Learn from real-world examples and each other’s experiences
• Contribute to national and global 2030 elimination goals
• Strengthen the care you provide and improve outcomes in your community

Your liver is the powerhouse of your body – processing almost everything you eat and drink. It plays a vital role in cleaning your blood, supporting digestion, fighting infections, and eliminating harmful toxins.

Physically, the liver is perfectly positioned between your gut and the rest of your body. This placement allows it to extract and utilise nutrients from your diet while removing toxins effectively. A healthy liver can repair itself and even create new, healthy tissue!
