WHAT IS THE INQUIRY INVESTIGATING?

The Inquiry is looking at particular issues, including:

  • Methods to improve prevention of new hepatitis C infections

 

And methods to reduce the stigma with a positive diagnosis through: 

  • The public health system
  • Public health awareness and prevention campaigns 
  • Non-government organisation health awareness and prevention programs.
