National Hepatitis Infoline

Talk to someone in your state or territory

The National Hepatitis Infoline provides confidential and free information on hepatitis B and hepatitis C. The people taking your calls are trained by hepatitis organisations that are members of Hepatitis Australia.

They can provide brief interventions, peer support, referral and linkage to services, and individual advocacy.

Because you will be talking to a worker in your state or territory they will have good knowledge about hepatitis and relevant services available in your area.

Operating hours

The Infoline is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, except for public holidays.

⚠ If you or someone you know is in crisis and needs help now, call triple zero (000). You can also call Lifeline on 13 11 14 — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
