Chronic hepatitis B is a leading cause of liver cancer in Australia. The majority of the 218 000 people with chronic hepatitis B were born overseas. About half don't know they have it. The Multicultural HIV and Hepatitis Service in partnership with Healthy Cities Illawarra are offering this free workshop for community workers.

Raising awareness in our communities is vital to address this serious health issue.

This workshop will:

• Improve your knowledge and understanding of hepatitis B
• Increase your awareness of the impact of hepatitis B
• Provide an opportunity to discuss your role in increasing awareness of hepatitis B among CALD communities

We hope to see you there!
