You and hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is a virus that causes liver inflammation and liver disease.

It is a slow-acting virus, and for most people does not result in serious disease or death.

There is no vaccine for hepatitis C yet, but there is a range of pharmaceutical treatments and health maintenance options.

People affected by hepatitis C come from a wide range of backgrounds.

Whether you are someone living with hepatitis C, a family member or friend, a health care professional, an employer or work colleague or any other interested person - you can find general information on hepatitis C in our You & Hep C section.

You will also find some links to other very comprehensive sites. However, if you have any questions that you would like to discuss don't hesitate to contact HCV and speak to one of our workers

Hepatitis C and Me

This year, in the lead up to Hepatitis C Awareness Week in May, we conducted a nation-wide survey to see what Australians understand about hepatitis C and what they think the most important issues are.

We plan to use the information we collected to plan better programs and campaigns, petition governments for better servicesand to better understand the views of the communities we work with.
