Australia’s Drug User Organisations were founded amidst the hepatitis C epidemic. Our pioneers, who experienced the impact of hepatitis C first hand, laid the foundation for the programs and services we have today. Their leadership and insights continue to influence our daily efforts. As we move toward the goal of eliminating hepatitis C, we face the challenge of preserving and applying this invaluable knowledge to address future health threats.
AIVL hosted a webinar to discuss how we can carry forward the lessons learned from our past to protect the health and freedom of our diverse community in the future.
