From today, Australian clinicians no longer need specialist accreditation to prescribe s100 hepatitis B antiviral prescriptions.

This change is a major step towards eliminating hepatitis B as a public health threat in Australia. By increasing the number of clinicians able to prescribe treatment, more people can access the care they need, when they need it.

The reform reflects years of advocacy by ASHM, Hepatitis Australia, and sector partners, and reinforces our commitment to removing barriers to hepatitis B care. We will continue advocating for policies and programs that expand access to testing and treatment, reduce health inequities, and support Australia’s progress towards hepatitis B elimination targets.

For clinicians who are new to prescribing hepatitis B treatment, ASHM offers clinical support and expert guidance to build confidence and capability. For existing prescribers, we will continue to provide the same resources and support.

Hepatitis Australia supports harm reduction approaches for people who use drugs.

Over the past 20 years, overdose deaths have increased significantly around the world. Behind those numbers are people, families and communities.

Overdose is preventable. There are proven ways to reduce harm and save lives. Yet too often, these approaches aren't fully understood, shared or embraced.

Timely access to care and support, education and life-saving interventions are some of the things we know can make a difference. But there is still more to be done to make sure these approaches reach the people who need them.

What a week at VH2026!

Across VH2026, we:
• Hosted three poster tours, with a further three poster listings
• Had our CEO deliver a Welcome Address at the Opening Plenary
• Contributed to the Community Pharmacies Pre-Conference Meeting
• Ran a session on advancing implementation of the national hepatitis strategies
• Presented across numerous conference sessions, including two plenary panels
• Rapporteured at the Closing Ceremony
• And hosted a highly successful HepLink stall, which attracted lots of interest and great conversations throughout the conference

A big thank you to ASHM for organising VH2026, the presenters, colleagues and everyone who stopped by to say hello. We’re proud of the role our team played and grateful for the opportunity to connect, share and learn.
