Today is World Hepatitis Day.

Advocacy groups are reminding Australians to get checked for hepatitis immunity.

Currently there are 3 hundred and 40 thousand Australians living with hepatitis B and C with 6 thousand hepatitis suffers in Canberra.

Hepatitis ACT Executive Officer Joshua Anlezark says the virus can often be asymptomatic but there is a real possibility the virus can be eliminated in the ACT.
