Steering Group

The HCV Resource Network is overseen and directed by a Steering Group (SG) made up of representatives of the users of the Network. The SG is responsible for determining its own membership in the spirit of maintaining a balance of regional and stakeholder perspectives, and is expected to meet twice a year.

All members of the original Advisory Group which oversaw the construction of the Network have subsequently served on the Steering Group. You can review the Steering Group's current Terms of Reference, read the Discussion Summary notes from its latest meeting, and download more information on its history, consultations and governance from the Resource Centre.
