Hepatitis D is a secondary virus that only infects people who already have hepatitis B - and together, they damage the liver much faster.

Most people who have it don't know they're infected. One blood test can tell you. Ask at your next hep B check-up.

Questions? Call our infoline at 1800 437 753.

Children who catch hep A often have no symptoms, but can infect the rest of the family. Hep A vaccine is recommended for all travelers over 12 months of age. Ask your GP or call us at 1800 437 753 for more information.

Not sure if you’ve had the hep B vaccine? Most Australians born before 1985 never got it, and hep B can go unnoticed for decades. One blood test shows whether you’re protected, need the vaccine, or need care. Vaccination is free in Queensland for priority groups. Ask your GP, or call our infoline at 1800 437 753.

This Liver Cancer Awareness Month, we've been talking about the connection between viral hepatitis and liver cancer.

In Queensland, hepatitis B and C contribute to around half of liver cancer cases.

Our Viral Hepatitis and Liver Cancer – Queensland Report shows that there are real opportunities to prevent liver cancer through testing, treatment, monitoring, early detection and better access to care.

It also reminds us that behind the data are people and communities living with hepatitis, liver disease and liver cancer.

There is more we can do.

Hepatitis A spreads through food and water, and you can't tell by looking. It's common in popular destinations like Southeast Asia and the Pacific.

The vaccine is safe, quick, and lasts for years with a second dose. Book it with your flights this holiday season.

Any questions? Call our infoline at 1800 437 753.

We can do more to prevent liver cancer.

The Viral Hepatitis and Liver Cancer – Queensland Report makes one thing clear: there are opportunities to reduce preventable liver cancer in Queensland.

For individuals, that can mean knowing your hepatitis status and accessing treatment or monitoring when needed.

For health professionals, it means continuing to test, treat, monitor and connect people with appropriate care.

For health services and systems, it means improving access, particularly for communities experiencing greater barriers to care.

And for all of us, it means reducing stigma and making conversations about hepatitis and liver health easier.

The risk of liver cancer and access to prevention, testing and care are not the same for everyone.

Our Viral Hepatitis and Liver Cancer – Queensland Report highlights inequities affecting several communities, including:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
• people born overseas in regions where hepatitis is more common
• people living in regional and remote Queensland
• people experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage.

The report calls for stronger access to testing and treatment, specialist liver services outside major cities, targeted investment in high-burden communities and culturally safe, community-led approaches.

Improving liver cancer outcomes means making sure people can access the right care, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances.

Read the report:

Vaccinations are currently at their lowest in Queensland. immunisation at all ages is critical to prevent outbreaks and protect communities.

Dave lived with hepatitis for 28 years before eventually being cured of hepatitis C.

He also experienced liver cancer and underwent a liver transplant.

Dave continues to share his story to encourage others living with hepatitis to look after their liver health and access the care available to them.

His story is featured in Hepatitis Queensland's Viral Hepatitis and Liver Cancer – Queensland Report.

"There's a lot more support now than there used to be, and it's nothing to be ashamed of."

Dave's story is a reminder of how much hepatitis care has changed, and why knowing your status and staying connected to care matters.

Dave and Grace share their story of living with hepatitis and the e...

Liver cancer prevention starts before liver cancer.

The Viral Hepatitis and Liver Cancer – Queensland Report identifies several opportunities for health professionals and health services to help reduce preventable liver cancer.

These include:
• stronger hepatitis B and C testing and treatment
• improved early detection and linkage to care
• ongoing monitoring for people at risk
• access to specialist liver services
• culturally safe and community-led approaches
• targeted investment in communities experiencing a higher burden of disease.
The report also highlights the importance of improving access to care outside major metropolitan areas.
