COVID-19 Policy

We want to assure you that our priority remains the safety and well-being of people - our patients, our staff and the community. In line with this commitment, we’re continuing to implement a number of safety measures to help minimize any risk of COVID-19 exposure within the practice.
Ongoing safety Measures we always adhere to include,
Standard infection control procedures to reduce the spread of any infection;
The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for all treatments such as standard level 2 surgical masks, protective eye wear and gloves;
Strengthening our cleaning procedures, including actively promoting the regular use of antibacterial hand sanitizer and surface wipes;
Reminding our staff of personal hygiene measures and our Infectious Diseases Policy.
All staff have completed COVID-19 infection control training provided by the Australian Government Department of Health.

In addition, we’re ensuring that patients and workers who are deemed high risk, according to the Government’s advice, do not come into the practice.
In line with this we ask that you please ring us today to reschedule your appointment if you are feeling unwell with flu like symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath or sore throat.
We can assure you our goal is to keep all our staff and patients safe.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please call us on 5985 5965

Rye Family Dental Care QIP Accreditation

“Achieving accreditation demonstrates a commitment to the provision of excellent dental care and continuous quality improvement within the practice.”- Quality Innovation Performance

What Is QIP Accreditation?

The accreditation of private dental practices’ is based on the integration of a set of National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards into everyday practice culture and patient safety. These standards harmonise regulatory requirements passed down by both Federal and State governments, with highlights being the demonstration of clear and evidence based patient benefits when visiting an accredited practice.

What This Means For You

When choosing an accredited practice a patient can expect a reduction in clinical and general risks, as well as the peace of mind in knowing that all staff are educated and engaged in the implementation of dental systems and improvement of dental processes within their practice.

National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards for Dentist’s were adopted by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care in 2011. The attainment of these standards means a dental practice has proven to be of the highest calibre in delivering quality patient care within Australia.

We now proudly belong to a new age of accredited dental practices, meeting QIP quality standards of patient care for all patients.

What This Means For Us

We assure you we are committed to ongoing improvement of the policies and procedures that govern our dental practice, providing assurance to patients, staff, colleagues and peers that we are committed to quality, safety and excellence across all standards.

Accreditation is independent recognition that we have met the requirements based on a defined criteria and set of standards that all practices can be judged equally against. Accreditation provides assurance to our patients, staff and everyone associated with the Practice that quality and performance standards have been met and are being constantly evaluated and improved upon.

If you would like to find out more about the accreditation of our practice please contact us for more information.
