youtu.be/cPEE5mCRiQI?... [Imagine] there's just one person left in Australia who has hep C. That person thru a prison or community-based project or a needle exchange, or they just walk into a doctor's surgery, sign up for treatment & hep C is gone in Australia. You know it's possible. @medsky.social
Black and white screenshot of a man with glasses, arms open gesticulating as he's being interviewed. There are 2 blocks of text in the image. One reads: New hep C treatment and cure became widely accessible in Australia ten years ago in 2016. The second block reads: Now in 2026, we ask community members what those ten years mean to them.

First Nations people are at high risk of hep B & resulting liver cancer. Yet 37% of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders who need liver cancer monitoring are NOT getting it & less than 1% get good monitoring. Meaningful #Reconciliation needs action @menziesresearch.bsky.social @aivl.bsky.social

National Sorry Day 26 May - From Sorry to Action. The call is clear: we must move from words to action & it needs to happen now, not in another decade. We all need to mark National Sorry Day; ensure this is part of an ongoing commitment to truth-telling & healing. @menziesresearch.bsky.social

Lisa and Jen felt privileged to join around 70 people at Parliament House for International Family Drug Support Day. Jen shared the devastating impact of stigma on people engaging with health care, with many people missing out on a cure for hep C because of a fear of disclosing drug use. #ifdsday

At CAASSA Virginia's Vietnamese women's group, educator Yingbin was inspired by how the women learnt together. "In the myths quiz they explained answers to each other so everyone understood. And the many thoughtful questions showed real care about their health. For me, it seemed more fun than work!"
