Time For Action - hepatitis C treatment access campaign (archive)

On World Hepatitis Day 2015, Hepatitis Australia officially launched the #TimeForAction campaign in an effort to increase focus on the need for all Australians living with chronic hepatitis C to have access to new generation medicines to treat and cure their infection. The campaign spanned many months using a variety of strategies and media. On 20 December 2015, the Health Minister, Hon. Sussan Ley announced that the new generation medicines for hepatitis C would become available to Australians via the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) from 1 March 2016.  The implementation of the #TimeForAction campaign was supported by the State and Territory hepatitis organisations and 27 organisations from around Australia came together to approach the Health Minister. Below is a collection of the materials and media releases utilised during the campaign.
