Our Work with Correctional Centres
We provide information, resources, and education to people in prison and to the correctional centre workforce. Our current activities include:
Prison Information Packs
People in prison can request an information pack from Hepatitis Queensland containing information and resources about viral hepatitis.
Each information pack includes an activity book, a pack of pencils and a deck of cards. The activity book is filled with useful information on hepatitis transmission, prevention and treatment, alongside boredom-busting activities such as crosswords and colouring pages. The playing cards include important health messages about hepatitis B and C.
Prison TV Videos
Our professionally made videos air on the internal prison TV system across Queensland. These videos include personal stories of living with hepatitis and important health messaging on how to get tested and treated for hepatitis in prison.
Prison Resources
Our prison-specific resources provide inmates and staff with easy-to-read information about hepatitis.
