South Australian hepatitis B community education projects are but a small selection of the 40 projects progressively being implemented Australia-wide.

First off the rank in SA was a project with the Filipino community which Hepatitis SA is carrying out in partnership with the Filipino Settlement Coordinating Council of South Australia (FSCCSA).

The project had a flying start with fun and games at the Filipino Fiesta in October, followed by an information session with the Filipino Aged Care group in December and community information sessions this month in Port Lincoln and Murray Bridge. Work with the Chinese and Vietnamese communities are not far behind with project officers appointed from the respective communities.
