2017 -2018 Annual Report
our Vision “The elimination of hepatitis B and C in Australia”
our Mission “To provide leadership in community services in relation to hepatitis B and C”
Executive Directors ReportFrank FarmerI’m pleased to make available to you our report for 2018. During the year all projects have performed well and our workforce has remained stable. The info-graphics in this report speak for themselves. Developing and maintaining partnerships is an important part of our work. The Community Hepatitis B and C Education Programs have continued to work with partner organisations to deliver quality services to the community. The programs have effective relationships with a range of services including multicultural services, alcohol and drug rehabilitation services, as well as youth and community services, which enable us to access people who may be affected by viral hepatitis. The Workforce Development Program has collaborated with The Aboriginal Health Council to co-facilitate their Birds and the BBVs Project, which has provided the opportunity to travel to regional and remote communities to engage with Aboriginal health professionals as well as community members.The enhancement of our hepatitis B work with multicultural communities, supported by the additional Commonwealth funds administered by Hepatitis Australia, came to a conclusion at the end of this year. The increased program capacity over the last two years has been a great advantage, enabling us to employ another staff member and expand our reach into relevant multicultural communities. As a legacy of this opportunity the periodic Hepatitis B Outreach Clinics for multicultural communities, which were initiated with the Commonwealth funds, and have been well received, will be able to be absorbed into our mainstream program, as will the Hepatitis B Peer Educators Project, albeit in a limited capacity.The Needle and Syringe Program has maintained momentum, and distributed 180,805 syringes over 9,953 occasions of service, averaging more than 18 syringes per occasion of service.
The valuable work of the Deen Clinic has continued. However, we have experienced a slight decline in client numbers, which is reflective of the national decline in people accessing the new hepatitis C treatments, which threatens the elimination goal. We anticipate introducing complimentary strategies in the future to address this matter of concern.The Board has continued to enhance its best practice governance. A comprehensive process was undertaken to develop a new Rules of the Association which was ratified and submitted to the Commissioner.I take this opportunity to thank the staff and the Board for their continued good work and support and wish the organisation all the best for the future.
Chairperson’s ReportUrsula SwanOn behalf of the Board of Directors of HepatitisWA I am honoured to present the Chairperson’s report for this financial year. Sometimes I really don’t know where the time has gone as it seems that I only recently submitted the last report.The Board has now completed the review of the new Rules of Association which has been submitted and accepted by the Commissioner. It has been a very long process but a worthwhile job undertaken by two Board Directors, David Wilding and Max Taylor, to keep HepatitisWA in line with current legislation. Thank you both for this body of work.The World Hepatitis Alliance met in Sao Paulo (Brazil) in late October and early November for the World Hepatitis Summit 2017 where hundreds of delegates from around the globe came together to hear good news stories and challenges. The overarching agreement was to collectively declare that hepatitis C will be eradicated by 2030. I received an invitation to attend this event and was very grateful to be a part of this mammoth occasion. The major theme was to get all governments to agree to the eradication of hepatitis C by 2030 with testing and treatment for the many people that may have the virus and some not knowing that they have it. It was estimated that 300 million men, women and children may be living with Hepatitis B or C but still remain undiagnosed. It was requested that each country should define their specific populations that are most affected by the virus and the response should target these areas. By finding these missing millions it may prevent the 1.3 million deaths per year from Hepatitis B or C. It also called for an increase in the vaccinations for Hepatitis A and B as these can be prevented. On behalf of the Board I would like to say ‘Thank You’ to the management team, all staff members and volunteers for continuing the wonderful work that HepatitisWA delivers to those affected by viral hepatitis and who are playing their part to eliminate Hepatitis C by 2030.
