“Reflecting on 10 years of DAA treatment for hep C, I think about my own journey, which was pretty rough… I had a pretty bad time and I was one of the first people to get the new treatments – and it was like night and day for me!”
Jimmi, Peer Worker

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
