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.

The program content is delivered through presentations and case discussions that introduce the epidemiology, vaccination and prevention, testing and serology, fibrosis assessment, monitoring and management of CHB, stigma and discrimination and explores the cultural context of hepatitis B care.

Please also see the Resources section at the bottom of the navigation menu as it contains some handy resources which you will hopefully find helpful over the next few weeks.
