- We apply health promotion principles and evidence-based practice to our work.
- We respect the cultures, traditions, views, and ways of life of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Priority population groups
We advocate strongly to improve services for all people affected by hepatitis B and hepatitis C. We will pay particular attention to those groups which are at higher risk of hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection and those groups which have a disproportionate burden of chronic disease.These include: people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, children born to mothers with chronic hepatitis B, people in custodial settings, people with a history of injecting drug use, and new, and potential injectors.
