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.

From 14-17 September, the Australasian HIV&AIDS Conference 2026 joint with the Australasian Sexual Health Conference brought 980 delegates from around the world to Naarm (Melbourne) to share and learn about the latest in HIV and sexual and reproductive health innovations – and the work that still lies ahead.

Across 72 sessions, passionate debate panels, and exclusive events such as the ASHM Learning Lounge and HIV Unwrapped 3.0, the sold-out conferences provided endless opportunities to connect, collaborate, and explore together as a sector.
