The Council is currently seeking feedback on the following three consultations.
Dentist and dental specialist 2016/17 APC fee and disciplinary levy consultation
The Council is now consulting on the proposed dentist and dental specialist 2016/17 APC fee and disciplinary levy, due to come into effect on 1 October 2016.
Feedback is invited by 5pm, Thursday 18 August 2016—please note the shorter consultation timeframe, as the 2016/17 budget has previously been consulted on.
Proposed changes to prescribed qualifications
The Council is consulting on several proposed changes to its prescribed qualifications.
Most significantly, the Council proposes to gazette the following two programmes:
- University of Otago Doctor of Clinical Dentistry in Oral Surgery
- Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Fellowship in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
Some administrative updates to descriptions of the Australian prescribed qualifications are also proposed.
Feedback is invited by 5pm, Monday 5 September 2016.
Sedation practice standard
The Council has reviewed its Conscious sedation for dental procedures practice standard and as a result, has developed an updated draft Sedation practice standard.
We are now seeking your feedback on the proposals and the draft sedation practice standard.
The submission period closes by 5pm, Wednesday 14 September 2016.
