Talking Hep C
Talking hep C is all about finding information and support, sharing ideas or providing others with support. This part of our website is primarily aimed at people living with hep C or friends and family, etc. and contains:
- Hepatitis Helpline - a NSW-wide hep C telephone information and support line
- Hep Connnect - a project matching people with hep C with volunteers who have/had hep C
- Hep C Australasia - an online support forum for people with hep C in Australia and New Zealand
- Video and audio - video and sound bites about hep C which you can watch, listen to, or download and listen on your personal music device
- Your email questions answered - email us your question and we'll answer it
- Personal stories - people's hep C stories, taken from our magazine, The Hep Review.
- Hep Chat radio show - a weekly radio show broadcast by 2CR radio in Melbourne and by podcast across the internet
Information on our website does not aim to replace the advice provided by a doctor or other healthcare worker. If you have hep C you should regularly see your doctor for monitoring, information advice and referral.
Our website is always evolving. If you have ideas or feedback on how we can improve this page, or if you come across errors, please email us by clicking here (don't forget to tell us which page you are providing feedback on).
