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.

Overview

With a long established history of HIV s100 Prescriber Case Study groups delivered by VHHITAL and the Alfred Health team, ASHM is now working in collaboration with Bayside Health (formerly Alfred Health) to co-host this session, with an additional series set to launch in 2027. 

This discussion group will give clinicians the opportunity to discuss cases and integrate the latest evidence into diagnosis and management strategies in their practice. Through peer discussion and expert facilitation, participants will explore complex treatment decisions, including antiretroviral therapy selection, medication interactions, adverse effects, and the application of current HIV clinical guidelines. 

A portal will be made available to submit deidentified cases for discussion. All Victorian prescribers will be notified via email when the portal is open.  

Please note this course is for s100 Prescribers practicing in Victoria only. Prescriber status and location of practice will be verified before registration is confirmed.  

Please note: We cannot guarantee you will receive a zoom link if you have registered for this series after 4pm on the day before the session. If you find that you have not received a link, you can email us at [email protected].
