Our first medico-legal workshop for 2026 wrapped up in Sydney on Saturday, and what a session it was.

A big thank you to our expert panel, Dr Owen Bradfield, Dr Gerard Clausen, and Ms Nevena Brown, for sharing their expertise across four sessions packed with practical takeaways.

It was also great to have our CEO, Natasha Anning, on the day connecting with members.

Members came away with insights on:
- Privacy and AI: what "health information" really means, how surveillance device laws apply to AI transcription tools, and what's required before recording a consultation.
- Prescribing: navigating the complex web of federal and state obligations, including what NSW's updated ADHD prescribing rules mean for GPs since September 2025.
- Cultural safety: your obligations when experiencing or witnessing racism in the workplace, and how to manage the therapeutic relationship safely
- Dental practice: handling complaints, understanding your contract obligations, and why an apology is not an admission of guilt.

📍 Melbourne and Brisbane are coming later in the year. Stay tuned for dates.

Would you copy and paste a patient's complaint letter directly into ChatGPT? You might be surprised how many practitioners do.

Generative AI can be a genuinely useful tool for managing administrative load, but when patient information is involved, the risks are real and the obligations are clear.

In our latest article, MIPS Chief Medical Officer Dr Owen Bradfield shares practical guidance on how to use AI responsibly, and in a way that protects both you and your patients.

🦷 That’s a wrap on ADX Sydney 2026.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand to chat with Lauren, Maddie and Andrea about your indemnity needs, and how we can support you at every stage of your career.

A highlight of the event was the Women in Dentistry Breakfast. Our Chair, Dr Bronwyn King AO, delivered this year’s keynote, drawing on her work as a radiation oncologist and founder and CEO of To***co Free Portfolios, a global non-profit encouraging financial institutions to divest from to***co. She spoke about backing yourself, learning to say no, and why women lifting each other up matters more than ever.

We look forward to being back at ADX Brisbane this October 👀
