What are the health/immunisation requirements for enrolled dental students?
The Dental Board of Queensland policy prevents dentists carrying blood-borne viruses from undertaking invasive procedures, the definition of which includes most aspects of clinical dentistry. Dental students are therefore required to provide serological evidence of their status with respect to blood-borne transmissible viruses (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV) and are also required to undertake Tuberculosis (TB) testing. Carriers of blood-borne transmissible viruses will not be permitted to undertake invasive procedures and therefore will not be able to meet the program’s requirements. Students are also required to comply with BDSc Program Rule 3.3 in line with the immunisation policy of the Faculty of Health Sciences, and complete immunisations in accordance with the Faculty’s policy.
