CPD FAQs

To check your Prescriber CPD points: 

  1. Log into the MyASHM Prescriber Portal  
  1. Select ‘Accreditations’  at the top of the screen 
  1. Select the relevant accreditation type (HIV s100 or HBV s100)  

This will give you an overview of your current CPD points against the required number of CPD points. Click on the relevant accreditation year to view activities that are already submitted. 

HIV s100 prescribers who primarily work in a hospital, a sexual health clinic attached to a hospital, or a publicly funded sexual health clinic are considered ‘CPD-exempt’ and do not need to earn HIV CPD points to maintain their s100 accreditation. This excludes GP registrars who must earn HIV CPD regardless of their primary setting. 

CPD-exempt prescribers are still encouraged to complete ASHM courses and CPD activities to maintain clinical competency.  

If a CPD-exempt prescriber changes settings, their classification as a CPD-exempt prescriber is subject to change. 

  1. Log into the MyASHM Prescriber Portal  
  1. Select ‘Accreditations’ at the top of the screen 
  1. Select the relevant accreditation type (HIV s100 or HBV s100) 
  1. Select the relevant year you want to earn points for 
  1. Press the ‘Submit Educational Activity’ button 
  1. A form will appear > insert the details of the CPD activity and press the ‘Save’ button. 

No, if you have attended an ASHM course (online or in-person) or an ASHM conference associated with Prescriber CPD points, your Prescriber CPD points will be automatically awarded. Please allow up to two weeks after the course/conference for the CPD points to appear on your record. 

CPD points associated with ASHM on-demand online learning modules are automatically applied and should appear on your record in 24 hours. 

No, if you have attended a VHHITAL course (online or in-person) associated with Prescriber CPD points, your Prescriber CPD points will be automatically awarded. Please allow up to two weeks after the course/ conference for the CPD points to appear on your record. 

our prescriber status will be changed to ‘on leave’, meaning you are NOT authorised to prescribe the associated s100 medications. ASHM will email you to confirm your status change and inform the relevant state/territory health department. 

You can contact ASHM/VHHITAL to reinstate your prescribing rights at any time. You can find contact details at: Contact and Enquires
