Business / Provider Profile
Established in 2002, the Australasian Hepatology Association (AHA) is the peak professional body supporting and educating hepatology nurses and allied health professionals across Australia and New Zealand.
Since its inception, the AHA has become the voice of hepatology nurses and continues to build its capacity to provide ongoing professional development, educational resources, support and networking opportunities for nurses and allied health professionals.
The coming years will see major changes for our industry and an evolving role for nurses. The imminent availability of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) that are less toxic and more effective will change dramatically how Hepatitis C is treated.
In addition, the increasing burden of liver disease in Australia and New Zealand will result in a growing transition of hepatitis nurses looking after patients with other forms of chronic liver disease including, but not limited to, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), other forms of viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the care of patients with advanced liver fibrosis/cirrhosis.
In line with these changes, the AHA the will become more relevant than ever as a major force and powerful voice in determining innovative nurse-led care models, and in providing practical education, resources and support to our members.
