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.
As a fundamental part of Australia’s HIV response, ASHM provides up-to-date training, information and resources for the health workforce.
In close collaboration with the community, research organisations and our members, we are working towards the virtual elimination of HIV transmission, and improving the lives of people living with HIV.
