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.

HepBCommunity.org is inviting hepatitis B experts around the world to showcase their research as a forum thread. They welcome hepatitis B research of all kinds: basic, translational, clinical, public health, social, and more.

The community will be able to cast votes to decide on the most engaging researchers, who will have the chance at winning a gift card worth $250 USD.

HepBCommunity.org is a free, global peer-led online forum for scientific, clinical, and affected communities to come together and discuss Hepatitis B, endorsed by Hepatitis Australia, the World Hepatitis Alliance, the International Coalition to Eliminate HBV, and more. The forum encourages greater conversation between these communities so that we can all learn from each other.
