Viral hepatitis is an umbrella term for different viruses that can cause liver damage including hepatitis A, B, C and D.

The viruses cause similar symptoms. Some types make you more unwell than others. The viruses spread in different ways.

Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are the most common and burdensome blood-borne viruses in Australia. Without treatment, they can cause liver disease and liver cancer. You can find out more about the different types of viral hepatitis here.
