Every Voice, Everywhere
Turning ambition and experience into action

Every voice, everywhere reflects what it will take to improve viral hepatitis outcomes across Australasia: community leadership and lived experience alongside clinical expertise, research, policy and program delivery. The conference will bring together people living with hepatitis, peers, nurses, GPs, specialists, researchers and decision-makers to share practical, evidence-informed solutions that strengthen prevention, testing, treatment and long-term care in every setting, including primary care, prisons, rural and remote services and community-led models. With a focus on translating what we know into what we do, the tagline Turning ambition and experience into action signals a clear intent to move from national goals to real-world change on the ground.

Together, we aim to advance progress towards the elimination of hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and to improve support for communities affected across Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia–Pacific region.
