Need support for hepatitis C?

Hepatitis C is a virus that affects your liver. It can be serious and may cause liver damage or long-term illness, including liver cancer.

Everyone experiences hepatitis C differently — you may have some symptoms, many symptoms, or none at all.

There is a cure for hepatitis C, which is effective for 95% – 97% of people.

A new diagnosis can bring up a range of emotions, thoughts, and questions. These services are here to support you, provide reliable information and help you feel more connected as you navigate your liver health.

The Hep Services Directory helps you find liver health services, including support for hepatitis C. 

You can search the directory to find support for viral hepatitis near you.

Harm Reduction Victoria (HRVic) is a not-for-profit, community organisation for people who use drugs. 

HRVic runs a Needle and Syringe Program (NSP) that offers confidential health services to reduce the risks linked to injecting drug use. This includes providing sterile injecting equipment and resources to help prevent blood-borne viruses like hepatitis B and C. The program also ensures used equipment is disposed of safely.

A Point-Of-Care-Testing (POCT) machine is also available on-site at HRVic if you would like to be tested for hepatitis C.
