National Hepatitis B Strategy (2014 - 2017)
Australia is still in the early stages of establishing a strong response to hepatitis B. This Second National Hepatitis B Strategy 2014–2017 (the Strategy) looks to build on the achievements of the first strategy, strengthening Australia’s hepatitis B response.
Hepatitis B Mapping Project
The Hepatitis B Mapping Project is a joint initiative of ASHM and the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory (VIDRL). The project aims to produce a comprehensive understanding of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in Australia using data to geographically map both disease burden and estimates of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) diagnosis, monitoring and treatment uptake. This will help to prioritise and evaluate health interventions, improve local service delivery and address the needs of local priority populations.
