HEPReady® training for health and community professionals
Hepatitis Victoria is the peak not for profit community organisation working across the state for people affected by, or at risk of viral hepatitis.
Anyone can contract hepatitis B and C but incidences are higher among some migrant communities and people who inject drugs. These groups already experience a level of disadvantage that can prevent them from getting tested and treated and taking charge of their health.
Our training features a lived experience speaker and aims to combat the stigma and discrimination around viral hepatitis, correcting the myths and misconceptions that cause it.
HEPReady Essentials achieves this by encouraging health and community workers to initiate conversations with their patients and clients about viral hepatitis. It gives them the tools they need to speak confidently about it with them to encourage testing and treatment.
