Simon Clemence

Mayor of Mildura

As Mayor of Mildura I support the eradication of hepatitis from our community.

Elected Mayor of Mildura in 2018, I have been on council since 2016. As a retired Mildura Police Commander, I have worked on crime reduction initiatives, Ice education, family violence and improving Aboriginal youth training and employment – and have a keen interest in helping improve access to services, and social justice.

It’s critical that we address viral hepatitis because it’s killing people at a rate higher than the road toll and is treatable.

Simon’s message to others…

Get a blood test. In most cases it’s free. You may have it and not even know, and if you leave it too long it can cause significant damage including cancer.

LiverWELL, trading as Hepatitis Victoria is the peak community organisation working across the state for people affected by, or at risk of, liver disease and viral hepatitis.

LiverWELL acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.

We welcome people from all cultures, nationalities and religions. Being inclusive and providing equitable services is our commitment.
