Shepparton has some of the highest rates of hepatitis B and hepatitis C in non-metropolitan Victoria combined with very low rates of treatment uptake and care. A free workshop is being held on 14 June for health and community workers keen to understand and help tackle this problem.

Hepatitis Victoria, the peak body advocating on behalf of people living with viral hepatitis, is holding the free workforce development HEPReady workshop. Lunch and refreshments will be provided to registered participants.

Supported by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services, the workshop will bring a local perspective to the testing, treatment, management, care and prevention of viral hepatitis.

Expert speakers will present on the epidemiology and prevalence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and recent developments in the management of these conditions impacting the Shepparton community.
