All activities will then be listed on the National Awareness Week Calendar available via the Hepatitis Australia website www.hepatitisaustralia.com Even if you do not want your event listed on the National Calendar please fill in the relevant sections if you are intending on running an event/activity as this will assist us in the evaluation of the campaign.
