ADAVB Submission re Students with an Incapacity

The ADAVB has made a submission to the Dental Practice Board of Victoria in response to their draft 'Policy on Students with an Incapacity'.

The Branch provided support for the draft policy, as it generally aligned with the ADA Inc. Policy Statement on Health Care Workers (including students) with Blood-Borne Viruses.

A number of members had expressed concerns about the need to ensure that students who became infected or injured after some years of training should be able to complete their qualification and work in some way in a non-practicing classification of the register. This suggestion was highlighted in the submission.
