With the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine commencing in Australia, members of the community have asked HFA about how this will impact on people with bleeding disorders.
The Australian Haemophilia Centre Directors’ Organisation (AHCDO) has endorsed the joint
COVID-19 vaccination guidance for people with bleeding disorders, produced by the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH), European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders (EAHAD), European Haemophilia Consortium (EHC), and U.S. National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF). This has detailed information and is available on the AHCDO website -

AHCDO has advised HFA on some answers to some common questions.

HFV Committee is very disappointed to announce that the Community Camp scheduled for the weekend of March 12-14 has been postponed.
The Hotel Quarantine Covid case late last week has illustrated to committee just how dangerous and unpredictable these new Covid strains in particular can be and how quickly DHHS regulations restricting gathering numbers can and need to be in place. Accordingly, in the interests of keeping our community safe and well and to ensure we can run a full camp program with unrestricted numbers, committee has decided that it would not be appropriate to hold our camp in March as originally hoped and planned.
We are however excited to announce a new proposed camp date on the weekend November 19-22 at Lake Dewar. By this time committee anticipate that the Australian vaccine rollout will have been completed and community gatherings will once again be quite safe. We will look forward to seeing you all then. And in the meantime, be sure to keep an eye out for the HFV Magazine as well as HFV on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and announcements about related health issues and upcoming HFV programs and services.
Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe!

Wonderful news for our community this morning. This statement below is from HFA.
We are delighted that the Federal Minister for Health, The Hon. Greg Hunt MP, has announced today that emicizumab (Hemlibra®) will be publicly funded as a treatment for Australians with haemophilia.
Hemlibra® is a treatment that can reduce or stop bleeding in people with severe or moderate haemophiia A with and without inhibitors.
Gavin Finkelstein, HFA President, said, 'this is great news for our community. We are pleased all governments in Australia have agreed to fund their share of the costs of this treatment product for those in our community who need it'.
Minister Hunt said in his press release that regular supply of Hemlibra® is expected to be available by December 2020.
