QIP Accredited - Dentist Ballarat

Potter Dental: A Nationally Recognised Standard of Excellence

QIP Accreditation is an independent recognition that a dental practice has met the stringent standards set by the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards.

Governed by Quality Innovation Performance (QIP), one of Australia’s leading healthcare accreditation bodies, this status is not easily achieved. It requires a comprehensive review of our practice’s policies, procedures, and clinical protocols to ensure they meet the highest benchmarks for safety, quality, and patient care.

Achieving this accreditation demonstrates that our practice is dedicated to continuous improvement and operates at an elite standard of professional practice.

What Our QIP Accreditation Means For You

Choosing a QIP Accredited dental practice means choosing peace of mind. It’s your assurance that every aspect of your visit has been evaluated to ensure it meets the highest national standards. For you and your family, this means:

A Guarantee of Safety: Our practice adheres to the strictest infection control, hygiene, and sterilization protocols, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring a safe environment for your care.
Highest Quality of Care: Our dentists and clinical team are committed to best practices and proven procedures. We are dedicated to continuous education and integrating the latest, safest techniques into your treatment.
A Patient-Centred Focus: From your first phone call to your post-treatment care, our systems are designed around you. We ensure you receive clear communication, understand your treatment options, and feel safe and respected at all times.
A Commitment to Excellence: Accreditation isn’t a one-time award. It signifies our ongoing commitment to regularly reviewing and improving our processes, ensuring we consistently provide the exceptional care you deserve.
