ASHM administers the s100 accreditation programs for HIV and hepatitis B prescribers of highly specialised drugs.
We are the accrediting HIV prescriber agency in all Australian jurisdictions other than Victoria, which is managed by the Victorian HIV and Hepatitis Integrated Training And Learning (VHHITAL).
HIV and hepatitis B medications are subject to a restricted prescribing regime, which means that only approved medical practitioners (known as s100 prescribers) can prescribe these medications. These prescribers have undergone specific training and education to become qualified to prescribe these medications, and they are subject to ongoing monitoring and auditing to ensure they are prescribing safely and appropriately.
Hepatitis C medications are also subject to specific prescribing requirements, but these are less restrictive than the regimes for HIV and hepatitis B. Under current regulations, any medical practitioner can prescribe hepatitis C medications, but they must do so in accordance with specific guidelines and protocols, and within their scope of practice.

The process for becoming an HIV or Hepatitis B s100 prescriber involves several steps:
Complete the required education or apply for recognition of prior learning: you must complete specific courses on the management and treatment of HIV and/or hepatitis B and pass the post course assessment.
Apply for approval through submission of an application form for s100 prescribing rights. Your application will be reviewed by a committee/panel and if successful, a recommendation will be sent to the relevant state or territory health department.
Participate in ongoing learning: to maintain your prescribing rights, you must participate in ongoing prescriber CPD education.
