This policy analysis examines the inclusion of seasonal workers in hepatitis B public health policies, and it is a partnership between Central Queensland University and ECCQ.
Abstract:
This study examines Australia’s Hepatitis B public health policies with a focus on the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme seasonal workers as a priority population. The aim is to evaluate if Australia’s Hepatitis B public health policies adequately address health disparities and equitable access to health care for seasonal workers as a priority population. We draw comparisons with the public health policies of New Zealand and Canada, to understand how these nations approach similar health concerns among their temporary seasonal workers.
