About LiverWELL

For over 30 years LiverWELL (incorporating Hepatitis Victoria) has been the peak Victorian community-based organisation working for people affected by, or at risk of, viral hepatitis. Our long-term strategy builds on this critical work and broadens our scope to improve liver health outcomes for all Australians.

Untreated viral hepatitis is a contributor to increasing rates of liver disease and liver cancer, one is the fastest growing cause of cancer death in Australia. The condition is poorly understood, and many people do not receive a diagnosis until it is too late. But if diagnosed early, liver disease can be treated and cancer prevented.
