The Custody to Community Project is a new project for Hepatitis NSW with the aim of assisting people who are exiting prison while on hepatitis C treatment in completing their course of 12-week treatment and getting tested to check that they are cured upon completion. There are two roles within this project: one based in Sydney and one based on the Mid-North Coast (MNC). This role is based on the Mid-North Coast and is a 14 hours (2 days) per week role.
The Project Officer - MNC will work closely with the Sydney-based Project Officer in the program and Justice Health NSW to determine those people in the Mid-North Coast Correctional Centre at Kempsey currently on hepatitis C treatment and who may be released in the next 6-8 weeks. The Project Officer - MNC will then organise to visit or make contact with that client in prison, build rapport, and establish ways to contact and connect with them upon release. Once released into the community, the Project Officer - MNC will support the client in continuing their treatment, linking up with any relevant hepatitis services, and facilitating testing after completion of treatment to check if they are cured. Contact post-release will be via phone only.
