Ending Hepatitis C Campaign

Working with your community to end hepatitis C in Australia

Something historic is happening! Australia could be the first country in the world to eliminate hepatitis C. We have a cure, now Australians need to know about it.

Australia aims to find and cure 50,000 people of hepatitis C by 2023. 

The Ending Hepatitis C Campaign is one of the five pillars of the National Hepatitis C 50,000 project, an Australian Government initiative to find, test and treat 50,000 people living with hepatitis C by 2023. 

With a focus on health and geographic equity, the Campaign is aimed at the general community, including people from multicultural backgrounds. As the first of its kind in Australia, the Campaign aims to reach: 

  • new audiences irrespective of an individual’s past or current risk factors of hepatitis C 
  • people who are disparately spread through a range of general communities across Australia 
  • people who are not accessing health or community services (e.g. for hepatitis C or related prevention or care) 
  • the community around people living with hepatitis C 

The Campaign and its messages have been designed to respond to the low levels of awareness of hepatitis C and its cure in the community outside of priority populations and settings. The Campaign provides new and creative ways for the general community to engage in positive and non-stigmatising conversations about hepatitis C and to spread the word about the cure. 

A key component of the Ending Hepatitis C Campaign is Australia's Biggest Quiz - a community event which aims to raise awareness of hepatitis C and its cure. 

Australia’s Biggest Quiz is a national trivia event. Test your general knowledge of topics such as sport, history, music, geography and so much more. We will be aiming to break a Guinness World Record for the largest online quiz, and raise awareness of hepatitis C and its cure along the way.
