HepatitisWA aims to assist in obtaining the best possible care and support for people affected by hepatitis.
Objectives: The objectives of HepatitisWA are to minimise the personal and socio-economic impact for people affected by viral hepatitis; provide an information service about viral hepatitis; assist in preventing the transmission of viral hepatitis; promote community awareness of viral hepatitis; contribute to the community, state and national viral hepatitis initiatives; influence public health policy, practice and law in relation to viral hepatitis.
We stand for the confidentiality of client information, a non-judgemental and non-discriminatory approach to clients, harm reduction as the basis of primary prevention, strategic alliances with relevant groups and organisations, services of high quality based upon professionally trained staff and volunteers, a holistic approach to client needs, their carers and health as a right, not a privilege!
