Get tested for hepatitis C
A new, free and easier treatment for all types of hepatitis C is now available and can be prescribed by your family doctor. This treatment can cure the disease.
Hepatitis C is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact. The most common way of contracting hepatitis C is through intravenous drug use, but there are many other ways people can get the virus, from receiving medical treatment overseas, to getting a tattoo.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
