This feedback from a TAFE lecturer made the drive to Mt Gambier & hectic work all worthwhile for our educators: "the students thoroughly enjoyed your presentation & found it fascinating. Please pass on this feedback to Ying Bin - the students found her very knowledgeable & switched on-super nurse!"

HepSA educators are at events non-stop during O-week. We were struck by the students' diversity in age, gender, culture... TAFE is clearly doing a great job fulfilling its mission when it was set up in '74 👍 www.tafecourses.com.au/resources/th...

Gary entered the Police Academy at 17 & almost quit the next day. He didn't... went on to a 20-year career, followed by 20 in community services – a journey he brought full circle after 41 years. Read Gary's story in HepSA Community News #103. #bloodbornevirus hepatitissa.asn.au/communitynew...
