Hepatitis C affects a wide range of people but young people are at particular risk due to a lack of knowledge of the virus. Young people are increasingly engaging in risky practices such as unsterile tattooing and piercing which can put them at risk. Additionally young people who are initiated into injecting drug use at a young age are at risk of contracting hep C.

The aim of Street Shot  is to engage with youth targeted organisations, to enhance their hepatitis C related work practices and to contribute to their increased organisational capacity to address hep C needs of young people they work with. A project of Hepatitis NSW, Streetshot kicked off in 2009 and culminated in the Street Shot Photo Exhibition at CarriageWorks, Redfern, 18-29 May 2009.

The project is now in its second year and the launch of the 2010 exhibition will be held on the 18th May, starting at 3.30pm at CarriageWorks (see below).
