With over two-thirds of people in Australia living with CHB born overseas, BBVs can have a dramatic impact on CALD patients’ health outcomes and quality of life. However, only 20% of people with CHB receive treatment and care, and migrant and refugee communities can face additional challenges in CHB management, influenced by differences in age, gender, time in Australia, migration, and resettlement experiences.

This webinar will help equip primary health practitioners and other healthcare workers with knowledge and strategies for providing culturally responsive CHB management and care to migrant and refugee patients.

Join a panel of experts for an in-depth discussion on hepatitis B for culturally and linguistically diverse populations.
