Create a Respectful Dental Workplace – Free from Discrimination, Harassment & Bullying
A safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace is essential for every dental team. This engaging online course empowers dental professionals to build and maintain a culture where everyone feels valued and protected.
Designed specifically for the dental setting, the course explores what it truly means to foster a respectful work environment—one where discrimination, harassment, and bullying have no place. You’ll learn how to identify inappropriate behaviours, understand the impact they have on individuals and teams, and take meaningful steps to prevent them.
Crucially, the course covers Australia’s “positive duty” under the Sex Discrimination Act, which requires all workplaces to take proactive steps in preventing sexual harassment. It’s no longer enough to respond after the fact—dental practices must lead the way in creating safe, respectful environments through education, awareness, and cultural change.
