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.

HIV Shared Care and GP Management Plan

Overview

Approximately half of the HIV care in Australia is provided in general practice, and available data suggest that HIV care provided by a GP is consistent with care provided by a specialist HIV physician. Despite this, there is still considerable uncertainty around ‘shared care’ – a model of care in which a patient sees a GP and other medical specialists. This resource provides background on the shared care model and guidance on recommended monitoring and preventative health for patients living with HIV, utilising a comprehensive GP Management Plan for HIV shared care.
