The elimination of viral hepatitis has now been firmly put on the map. At the 69th World Health Assembly in Geneva, 194 governments adopted the World Health Organisations’s Global Strategy on Viral Hepatitis, which includes a goal of eliminating hepatitis B and C as a health issue in the next 13 years. In Australia, we are well placed to reach these goals but we need your support. Read More >

Globally, the impact of hepatitis B and hepatitis C is staggering. The World Health Organization estimates 500 million people to be infected with hepatitis B or C worldwide. These viruses kill 1.5 million people a year. Interestingly, 1 in every 3 people has been exposed to either or both viruses. Many of those infected with hepatitis are unaware, as the symptoms lie dormant. In Australia, approximately 225,000 people are living with chronic hepatitis B and approximately 230,500 Australians are living with chronic hepatitis C.
The liver is our largest internal organ – and in some ways, the most complex. Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver – from any cause. Hepatitis C is transmitted via blood-to-blood contact and unlike other common hepatitis viruses A and B, there is no vaccine available to protect against hepatitis C. Treatments now available have resulted in improved outcomes for people infected. Read More >

National Pain Week – 24th to 30th July, 2017
Health Weeks
19-07-2017National Pain Week is convened by Chronic Pain Australia. They are dedicated to reducing the social and other barriers to living with chronic pain. You may be feeling quite isolated and ‘over it’ and feel that no one really understands your experience. You might even feel that people don’t believe you. Don’t despair, you aren’t crazy!
And you aren’t on your own either. The Chronic Pain Australia vision is that no Australian living with persistent pain should suffer alone or without access to resources and information which help them effectively manage their pain in a manner promoting dignity and self respect, regardless of age, gender, culture, belief, socio-economic or compensation status.

Health & Wellness
Diabetes is recognised as the world’s fastest growing chronic condition. The number of people with type 2 diabetes is growing in each country. In 2015, the International Diabetes Federation’s Diabetes Atlas estimated that:
- one in 11 adults has diabetes (415 million)
- one in seven births is affected by gestational diabetes
- three-quarters (75%) of people with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries
- 542,000 children have type 1 diabetes
- every six seconds a person dies from diabetes (5 million deaths).
Diabetes is the epidemic of the 21st century and also the biggest challenge confronting Australia’s health system. In Australia, 280 people develop diabetes every day. That’s one person every five minutes. More than 100,000 Australians have developed diabetes in the past year. The total annual cost impact of diabetes in Australia is estimated at $14.6 billion.
