Full description Hepatitis C testing and treatment has declined in Australia, slowing elimination progress. Our team evaluated a new point-of-care test for detection of active hepatitis C infection in one hour, enabling same-visit diagnosis and treatment. This test is now approved in Australia and has changed how testing and treatment can be delivered. This Partnership Project will evaluate a national program funded by the Australian government to scale-up point-of-care hepatitis C testing in Australia.
