“…now testing is really starting to come through the community and it comes to you… When I got told I had hepatitis C, I had to wait six months to then go to a liver specialist. Now people can find out they have hep C and be treated within a matter of weeks. It’s just changed so much!”

New hep C treatment and cure became widely accessible in Australia ten years ago on March 1, 2016. Australians living with hep C gained equal access to all oral, interferon-free direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatments, achieving cure rates exceeding 95%. Now in 2026, we ask community members what ten years means to them. #HepCURED10Years
