Hep Chat

Hep Chat is a 30 minutes weekly radio program that focuses on hepatitis C and harm reduction. It can also be heard live on the internet.

The podcast link address is: http://www.3cr.org.au/aggregator/sources/753

Hep C Australasia

Hep C Australasia is a community based internet discussion forum. It aims to empower people affected by hep C and provides a place to share ideas, opinions, support, tears and laughter.

As emotional support is the key, Hep C Australasia does not promote any particular treatment, in recognition that different treatments are appropriate for differing needs, wishes, and situations.

Although the forum is Australasian-based and the primary focus is on those people affected by hep C and living in Australia and New Zealand, people from other countries are welcome and enable valuable linkages to what is happening with hep C in other cultures.

To access Hep C Australasia, go to http://hepcaustralasia.org

The Coalition to Eradicate Viral Hepatitis in Asia Pacific (CEVHAP)

The Coalition to Eradicate Viral Hepatitis in Asia Pacific (CEVHAP) was established in October 2010 as a multidisciplinary body to advocate for public policy reforms that reduce the burden of viral hepatitis in Asia-Pacific.

CEVHAP is the first organisation based in the Asia Pacific region to dedicate its efforts to this cause.

The organisation is committed to building partnerships with others who share the same goals including: governments, NGOs, the business sector, academic researchers, civil society and people themselves who are infected.
