Core Tip	This is the first study looking at hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence using Australian data. It is well established that HCC recurrence significantly reduces survival post liver transplantation (LT). Optimal selection of candidates to minimize post-LT HCC recurrence remains controversial. The rate of HCC recurrence post-LT in Western Australia is 8.4%. A higher proportion of the patients with HCC recurrence had common baseline characteristics on explant; > 3 tumours, vascular invasion, and poorly differentiated disease. A larger multicentre study is required to investigate the predictive effects of these variables on post-LT HCC recurrence.
