An estimated 226,700 people in Australia are living with chronic hepatitis C. While the numbers of people estimated to have been infected with hepatitis C has reduced over the past 15 years, the number of people with hepatitis C-related liver disease is increasing. Growing older and duration of infection are significant determinants in the progression to cirrhosis amongst people with hepatitis C. There is a lack of social research describing the experiences of people with hepatitis C as they grow older.
