We distributed the SIM cards to people accessing our services across Queensland, primarily in Townsville, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Gold Coast. People receiving the SIM cards had financial hardship and no capacity to purchase ongoing credit or in most cases also did not have access to a mobile phone. Through our funded program, we purchased unlocked mobile phones that could take the SIM cards. People who registered with us needing treatment for Hepatitis C and who did not have a current phone and SIM, or who did have an unlocked phone but could benefit from a SIM were offered one. It did take us up until June to move on all the SIMS as we wanted to make sure those who needed access were able to. People accessing the SIMS were adults from our client group and as mentioned above were often just released from prison and had no means of communicating with our services. Without this offer, clients would not have been able to stay in contact with us, or even continue on engaging with our nurses and case managers on a scheduled basis, we would be relying on drop in/ walk-in visits which can be inconsistent when trying to provide health screening and health care.
