  1. How to get help

Hepatitis Infoline

1800 437 222 (1800 HEP ABC)

Talk to someone in your state or territory

The National Hepatitis Infoline directs you to the community-based hepatitis organisation in your state or territory. The people taking your calls are trained by hepatitis organisations that are members of Hepatitis Australia. They provide on the ground support in local communities and offer friendly and confidential help.

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 you state or territory. 

Coronavirus COVID-19 update

We understand people living with hepatitis B or hepatitis C may have concerns about how COVID-19 may affect them. This will likely see increased use of the National Hepatitis Infoline and you may experience some delays. Hepatitis Australia and our member organisation are making sure we do our best to take your calls. 

You can read more here about how COVID-19 may affect people living with hepatitis B or C.

Additional contact information for your nearest hepatitis organisations can be found on the local hepatitis organisations page.

Operating Hours

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