Zita: What about me? Why did they post my mate Mitchell without me?
Maisie: Just chill. Hepatitis elimination is ongoing, not just on 28 July. You look really smart, they will post you again. Relax and have a lie down – like me. There'll be more to do...

Two of our sweetest friends, Maggie & Mitchell, joined the #WorldHepDay green T-shirts fun. Mitchell might get extra treats since he's got additional green - the blanket. On the other hand, Maggie's got a message on her shirt! 😊Both winners?

We' have the tools to eliminate viral hepatitis; we just need to act. 300,000 Australians live with hepatitis B or C. 1000 die from hepatitis each year. Hepatitis C can be cured; an effective vaccine stops hepatitis B & treatment keeps it under control. #TakeActionAustralia for #WorldHepatitisDay

Most people with hepatitis B got it from their mother during birth. This happens more in regions with less accessible healthcare. Australians from regions of higher prevalence often face barriers accessing care. Culturally-friendly support can change this. #TakeActionAustralia for #WorldHepatitisDay
