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 being run by the Alfred Health team, we are now teaming up to co-host this session, with an additional series set to launch in 2027.

This session will give clinicians the opportunity to discuss real 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.

The 2025 Annual Prescriber Survey identified the below as a future learning topics, therefore we warmly invite you to submit your cases relating to these areas:

  • Complex co-morbidity management
  • Polypharmacy and drug-drug interactions
  • HIV drug resistance
  • HIV and ageing

You are also welcome to submit any other cases related to HIV prescribing.
