Test Quest! Hepatitis C Point of Care Testing Program

Test Quest!, our OneBridge HCV POCT program in collaboration with The Kirby Institute and Flinders University, funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health. Our initiative focuses on scaling up Hepatitis C point-of-care testing at our strategically placed health clinics. Targeting priority populations, including individuals who inject drugs, those in drug treatment programs, people with a history of injection drug use, those in custodial settings, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Test Quest! aims to make testing and navigating treatment options accessible to all populations. Our team are fully certified to perform finger-stick point-of-care HCV RNA testing as in accordance with TGA requirements.
