Education & training

HCCSA works with health and community organisations to deliver free education on hepatitis C and related issues to South Australians with or at risk of hepatitis C, and the health and community services workforce. Our priority populations include:

  • people who inject drugs,
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people,
  • people in custodial settings,
  • migrant communities and people of non-English speaking backgrounds, and
  • youth.

Community Art allows a group of people to come together to learn about an issue or to express concerns about it through an artistic process.

Our free education services can be tailored to your needs.

A hep C peer educator is someone who is able to provide non judgemental and up to date information about hepatitis C to empower the individual to make decisions about their health.

Hep C peer educators are employed by the Hepatitis SA and have personal experiences and up to date knowledge around hepatitis C.

'Positive speakers' are people who are living with hepatitis C or have recently cleared the virus, who work with the education team to explore what it is really like to live with hepatitis C. This is done through the use of personal stories.
