Victorian Hepatitis B Alliance

Our mission

The Victorian Hepatitis B Alliance (VHBA) is an independent, multi-disciplinary community of practice that aims to build momentum behind the Victorian response to hepatitis B.

Who we are

VHBA formed in 2008. We consist of both individual members and organisational representatives, including multicultural and Indigenous health and social services, clinical service providers, researchers, community health services and individuals with an interest in hepatitis B.

What we do

The multi-disciplinary nature of VHBA creates a unique opportunity for networking and exchange of information and expertise. The VHBA Strategic Directions guide our work which includes:

  • policy advocacy
  • building community leadership
  • workforce development.

VHBA has two sub-committees:

  • Spotlight Sub-committee: organises an annual training and information event for community and health workers, held in July
  • Advocacy Sub-committee: responds to advocacy issues related to the effective delivery of the Victorian Hepatitis B Strategy

Community Perspectives Project

The Hepatitis B Community Perspectives Project is a community co-designed project with people living with hepatitis B, developed by the VHBA and funded by the Victorian Department of Health.

The project aims to explore the diverse experiences of living with hepatitis B. 

Take a look at our Community Perspectives Project video, where Huy tells his story of living with hepatitis B, and our podcast episode developed with North Richmond Community Health Centre, where Mei shares her experiences of living with hepatitis B.
