Editorial

The Hepatitis C Community News began as a fairly simple publication in October 1997: six photocopied pages of text and clipart. Like the Council which publishes it, it has grown and changed significantly during the intervening 13 years. This issue begins with a look back at some of the more important developments in that period, and reminders of some of the many projects and programs the Council has run over the years.

This is aso the first issue to be published after our 2010 AGM. We thank all of those who stood for the board, and congratulate those elected. The two guest speakers at the AGM were Jo Morgan, of the Parks Primary Health Care Services, and Rosalie Altus, of Flinders Medical Centre.

Finally, please feel free to contact us any time about what you’d like to see in the magazine. We’d be thrilled to hear from you, and we are now offering a prize for the best letter each issue.
