Our Services
Community Services
HepatitisWA provides support, advice, and advocacy for people affected by viral hepatitis.
This support includes messaging of any changes in treatment options, new government policies, and what are your rights with regards to disclosure and management of viral hepatitis in the workplace. HepatitisWA also provides consultation and input into national discussions and political discourse, ensuring the best outcomes for people living with viral hepatitis.
Health Promotion discussions and events provide opportunity for enhancing community knowledge around viral hepatitis and serves to destigmatise the virus.

Harm Reduction
HepatitisWA provides a community needle and syringe program (NSP) that operates weekdays to distribute clean injecting equipment to those in the community who choose to inject drugs.
These could be medical treatment, such as insulin, or other drugs. We provide a non-judgemental and friendly service that is designed to better care for our clients.
In addition to providing clean injecting equipment, our NSP also offers toiletries, food, and brief education on keeping safe, and can provide referrals to support services such as homelessness services, or to our clinical partnerships for health needs.
