Trivia buffs brush up on your general knowledge as Australia’s Biggest Quiz is coming to Melton on Wednesday 26 October.
Australia’s Biggest Quiz is a community event which aims to raise awareness of hepatitis C and its cure. Australia aims to find and cure 50,000 people of hepatitis C by 2023 and this quiz can help spread the word to achieve that goal.
The quiz is a national trivia event where participants test their general knowledge on topics such as sport, history, music, geography and much more.
Organisers are aiming to break a world record and raise awareness of hepatitis C and its cure along the way.
Participating in Australia’s Biggest Quiz will be a lot of fun, but it’s likely that you probably know more about sport, history, music, culture and countries than you do about hepatitis C.
You aren’t alone. Many people don’t know the facts or even that there is a cure, one that is easily accessible, affordable and has few side effects.
Here’s some other hepatitis C facts that might surprise you:
* Untreated hepatitis C is a leading cause of liver cancer, the fastest growing contributor to cancer deaths in Australia.
* Hepatitis C often doesn’t display symptoms until it causes liver damage.
* Most people still living with hepatitis C either don’t know they have it, or that it can be cured.
* Since a cure became available in 2015, 50% of Australians living with hepatitis C have been successfully treated.
Together, we have the unique opportunity to eliminate hepatitis C, and significantly reduce hepatitis-related cancer deaths in Australia.
