22 July 2025 - 28 July 2025

Each year, Hepatitis Awareness Week and World Hepatitis Day on 28 July, are an opportunity to raise awareness for viral hepatitis.

Hepatitis NSW wants everyone to know that hepatitis C can be cured. The new medication cures over 95% of people in 8 or 12 weeks, and is easy to take, just pills, no injections and has few side effects.  More than 46% of people who were living with hepatitis C in NSW have already been cured. Elimination of hepatitis C is now an achievable goal due to the combined efforts of government, the health sector, and our communities.

Hepatitis B is an easily managed condition if you have regular check-ups with your doctor. If you have hepatitis B you can live a long and healthy life if you see your doctor every 6-12 months for monitoring. If you’ve been at risk for hepatitis B, get tested. For those living with hepatitis B, regular monitoring and treatment (when necessary) are the messages we encourage people to share during Hepatitis Awareness Week.
