Melanie Eagle
End Hepatitis Now
Did you know that viral hepatitis affects almost half a million Australians and that, in Victoria, about 6 people die every week of hepatitis related causes - more than the State’s road toll?
Hepatitis Victoria and Rotary Melbourne have joined to achieve the World Health Organisation’s goal of eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030. With a cure now available for hepatitis C and a vaccination for hepatitis B, this global goal is achievable if community awareness can be raised.
Melanie is the CEO of Hepatitis Victoria/LiverWELL® with formal qualification in Law, Arts and Social Work Melanie has worked in the public and private sectors including in the areas of future city strategic planning, social policy and women’s policy, equal opportunity, and as a private sector solicitor.
