Dental Council consultations open for feedback
There are two Dental Council consultations currently open for feedback from practitioners and stakeholders.
- Submissions on the proposed changes to the working relationship requirements for oral health practitioners with dentists, and the practising conditions for dental hygiene activities are due by 18 December 2020. You can submit your responses using our online survey.
- The consultation on proposed 2021/22 budget and fees, and policies on the allocation of costs for inquiries and competence remediation closes on 15 January 2021. You can email your feedback to consultations@dcnz.org.nz.
We value your feedback and encourage all practitioners to make submissions on these proposals.
PLEASE NOTE: Both these consultations are now closed
Performance reviews of authorities under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act
Earlier this year the Ministry of Health issued a public consultation document about performance reviews of responsible authorities, including the Dental Council.
The Ministry has now published the outcome of the consultation, including the final general terms of reference and core performance standards that will be used for these performance reviews.
The first round of performance reviews will commence in 2021. Further information is available on the Ministry’s website.
