Hepatitis Australia works closely with research partners, including the Doherty Institute, Kirby Institute, Burnet Institute, Centre for Social Research in Health, and Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society to review and publish accurate data, including statistics used on our websites. 

Hepatitis Australia seeks specialist advice and input from members of the Hepatitis Australia Editorial Committee on health information resources. The committee provide advice on accuracy and accessibility of documents. They collectively offer expertise on clinical information, epidemiology, lived experiences and communications.  

The current members of the Hepatitis Australia Editorial Committee are: 

• Dr Alice Lam 

• Digby Hildreth 

• Jennifer MacLachlan 

• Sidney Vo 

On occasion, we will seek additional or alternate specialist advice from other experts relevant to the content being produced. This is stated on those resources.  

The health information content on Hepatitis Australia’s corporate website has undergone a health literacy review process (last completed in 2022) to improve accessibility. This process applied plain language and linguistic guidelines and principles recommended by the World Health Organisation, Centres for Disease Control and Australian Commission for Safety and Quality of Health Care to the Hepatitis Australia website content.  

To maintain consistency, hepatitis information from Hepatitis Australia’s corporate website is used across other websites.
