About this Event

We are excited to announce that will be holding a World Hepatitis Day event at the Doherty Institute on Tuesday 28 July 2026, from 5.30pm to 8pm.

Hear from invited speaker, and co-founder of Hepatitis B Voices Australia, Associate Professor Thomas Tu, as well as Professor Benjamin Cowie, Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Viral Hepatitis.


This event will focus on the theme of Cure for Hepatitis B: hoax, hype, or hope?
What does a hepatitis B cure mean? Why should we be sceptical, and do any new ‘cures’ pass the test? How is Australia working on and preparing for a cure for hepatitis B?

In addition to presentations with the most up-to-date information from international experts, there will be plenty of time for panel discussions and Q&A with all participants. This will be a safe and open platform to give community and other stakeholders the opportunity to ask the questions they want answered.

Following the session, please join us to continue the discussion and for informal networking over food and refreshments.
