The Deadly Liver Mob program was conceived and developed by Felicity Sheaves and Louise Maher with the support of Elizabeth O’Neil and the Aboriginal Sexual Health Advisory Group (ASHPAG) of the Western Sydney and Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health Districts. It was first implemented in Mt Druitt by Aboriginal Health Workers Kerri-Anne Smith and David Webb with the support of the NSP & Sexual Health Teams.

Implementation Toolkit
This toolkit was written by Carla Treloar and Elena Cama drawing on the materials and experience of the Deadly Liver Mob teams. Thanks to Kasey Martin for assistance. This online version of the toolkit drew upon an earlier version which was supported via funding from NSW Ministry of Health and with the experience and wisdom of the Western Sydney Local Health District Deadly Liver Mob team – Louise Maher, Felicity Sheaves, Kerrie-Anne Smith and David Webb. The website was created by The Design Embassy using designs by Emma Hicks and photography from Jamie James with cultural mentorship provided by Aunty Clair Jackson.
