Get Linked Up!

For the past four months, the Getting It Together Rural Peer Support Project has been experimenting with a new way of sharing information and linking people with hepatitis C who live throughout rural SA.

The Get Linked Up service is a free monthly phone link-up that provides people with an opportunity to talk with others from rural SA, and to access easy-to-understand information about hepatitis C. The team behind the planning and facilitation of the link-ups bring a wealth of personal knowledge and understanding about hepatitis C, and really know just how difficult it can be living with hepatitis C in a rural community, dealing with misunderstanding and stigma.

Two of the team members, Robbie and Karen, participate in the link-up from rural SA, where they have lived for many years. Will and Lyn also bring a detailed personal knowledge to the service, and a comprehensive understanding of current hepatitis C information gained through their work on the Hepatitis C Council Info & Support Line.

Anyone from a rural community who has hepatitis C can phone into the link-up free of charge and use the opportunity to ask questions and to share information and ideas.

When: On the 4th Tuesday of each month; 1pm - 2pm

How: For information about how to get linked up, call Lyn Green or Leslie Wightman at the Hepatitis C Council of SA on 1800 021 133 or 8362 8443, or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
