From 1 September 2026, the prescriber accreditation requirement for hepatitis B medicines under the PBS Section 100 (s100) Highly Specialised Drugs Program will be removed. As a result, all medical and authorised nurse practitioners will be able to prescribe hepatitis B antiviral treatment without additional specialist accreditation. ASHM is currently updating its website, education and resources to reflect this change.
Let’s work together to reduce health inequalities, improve access to care and education, and promote healthy behaviours.
Collaboration supports vital initiatives, research, education efforts,
and drives change in our field. Join us in making a meaningful difference to communities’ health and wellbeing.

Collaborating with us supports vital initiatives such as reducing stigma and improving access to care. You’ll also have the chance to support important research and education efforts, and to drive change in our field.
