The Viral Hepatitis Mapping Project examines regional variations in prevalence and care uptake for hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
The Viral Hepatitis Mapping Project aims to improve understanding of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and C (CHC) in Australia by examining regional variations in prevalence and care uptake.
It supports Australia’s healthcare reform, with a focus on enhancing access to treatment and care, as outlined in the National Hepatitis B and C Strategies (2018-22). Future reports will track progress towards new targets in the upcoming 2025 strategies.
By identifying areas with high prevalence or low treatment uptake, the project helps prioritise interventions and improve service delivery where it’s most needed.
The project’s National Report and Online Portal are updated annually to track changes in CHB and CHC epidemiology and assess the impact of public health efforts on diagnosis and treatment access.
