The following information kit has been prepared for members of ADA NSW engaged in private dental practice. It should be used for general information only and is not intended as legal advice. Included are templates you may wish to adapt and use in your practice.
Privacy is not only an important legal obligation, it is also a core ethical and professional practice obligation. Confidence that both dentist and practice staff will protect the privacy and confidentiality of their information is an important element in the therapeutic relationship between dentist and patient.
This edition was updated in September 2014 and has been prepared with the assistance of Holmann Webb Lawyers.
