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.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A health policy analysis was conducted on the public health Hepatitis B policies in Australia and then compared with those in Canada and New Zealand. Due to the nature of the study question, the review had a major focus on grey literature. The search was undertaken in two stages, including (1) Google search engine and (2) targeted websites. Basic document data was produced in descriptive summaries. Any data either explicitly or inexplicitly relating to the elimination of hepatitis B or equity towards the inclusion of seasonal workers was produced as analytical summaries through multiple revisions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nineteen documents were identified, predominantly from Australia. Although Hepatitis B public health policies emphasised testing and awareness in priority populations, specifically mentioning seasonal workers as a priority population was absent in all three countries.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study underscores the exclusion of temporary seasonal workers in public health policies and strategies as a human rights issue, conflicting with principles of equity and equitable access to health care. Despite acknowledging challenges for temporary visa holders, policies lack specific provisions for seasonal workers. Addressing this gap is crucial for health equity and inclusive health systems.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>So What?<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings highlight the need to prioritise equity for temporary seasonal workers to achieve hepatitis B elimination goals by 2030. Exclusion from public health policies is a human rights concern, impacting access to quality health care. This study advocates for inclusive policies explicitly recognising temporary seasonal workers as a priority population, aligning with international human rights commitments to health care for all.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hpja.928","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,6]],"date-time":"2024-11-06T23:50:35Z","timestamp":1730937035000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Public health policy for temporary seasonal workers with chronic hepatitis B in high\u2010income countries: A comparative analysis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6364-1516","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haylee","family":"Fox","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences, Central Queensland University  Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William","family":"Mude","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences, Central Queensland University  Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geraldine","family":"Vaughan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences, Central Queensland University  Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robyn","family":"Preston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences, Central Queensland University  Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"O'Mullan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences, Central Queensland University  Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhihong","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","volume-title":"Budget 2023\u201324: expanding and improving the Pacific Australia labour mobility scheme","author":"Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","volume-title":"Viral hepatitis mapping project: hepatitis B national report","author":"MacLachlan JHRN","year":"2022"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","volume-title":"Prevalence and epidemiology of hepatitis B","author":"Australasian Society for HIV Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine","year":"2022"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0264-410X(00)00080-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jgh.12684"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","volume-title":"Data and statistics","author":"Coalition for global hepatitis elimination","year":"2024"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jgh.14457"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","volume-title":"Seasonal worker programme and pacific labour scheme","author":"Australian Taxation Office","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","unstructured":"HarringtonM AndersonL AdhikariA.The PALM scheme: Labour rights for our Pacific partners.
