About the C-YA! Project
The C-YA! Project aims to eliminate the deadly Hepatitis C virus (HCV) from people returning to society after a period of incarceration.
Our goal is to make curative treatment as easy as possible for this high-risk population, so we take our service to them – operating out of Beenleigh and Logan Central Queensland Corrective Service offices.
Treatments are private and discreet and our staff take the utmost care to meet the individual needs of each patient. Best of all, it’s free to access and the medication is affordable as it is covered under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
The project provides all the support you need to say C-YA! to the virus when you are looking to start a new life after incarceration.
The C-YA! Project is funded by the Gilead Fellowship, whose aim is to support innovative local research initiatives to improve patient outcomes, in particular in the understanding of HIV, chronic viral hepatitis, haematological malignancies, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), inflammatory diseases and invasive fungal infection. Their grants program funds projects with a real-world focus that are committed to the development and implementation of best practice to enhance patient outcomes.
