COVID-19 Safety
The ongoing safety of our patients and our Medland team, families and close contacts continues to be our first priority.
We also want to be able to continue to provide our patients with the treatment they need as planned and scheduled throughout this period in a safe and secure environment for other patients and our Medland team.
Pre-screening our patients for clinical and epidemiological risk factors for COVID-19 is the most important element in managing COVID-19 risk at Medland Dental. Whilst most government and community restrictions for COVID-19 have now been removed, the provision of dental services is a unique working environment with our team being directly exposed to many pathogens like COVID-19 due to the nature of our work. Continuing to screen our patients and team for COVID-19 risk factors is one of the many ways that Medland Dental is continuing to keep both our patients and team safe and well.

COVID-19 Pre-Screening FAQ
Screening our patients and team for clinical and epidemiological risk factors for COVID-19 continues to be an essential element in managing COVID-19 risk at Medland Dental. Whilst most government and community restrictions for COVID-19 have now been removed, the provision of dental services is a unique working environment with our team being directly exposed to many pathogens like COVID-19 due to the nature of our work.
Screening is performed to determine that patients, visitors and members of the Medland Dental Team do not meet the current Australian definition of a “suspect”, “probable” or “confirmed” COVID-19 case as determined by the Communicable Disease Network Australia.
As recommended in the current guidelines from the Australian Dental Association, Medland Dental will not be treating suspected, probable or confirmed COVID-19 patients where care can be appropriately deferred. Medland Dental can provide our patients with the full range of treatments and services, provided that our patients meet the criteria for being “low risk” of having contracted/being exposed to COVID-19.
Screening is part of a comprehensive strategy of measures in place at Medland Dental to suppress transmission of COVID-19 and protect other patients and our Medland team and family.
Whilst the requirement to wear face masks has been lifted for outdoor settings and most indoor settings (where you can socially distance), face masks are still required in healthcare settings. This includes private dental clinics like Medland Dental. This requirement is covered by Queensland Health’s “Public Health Face Mask Requirements Direction (No. 6)” which remains in place at this time.
This means staff, patients and visitors attending at dental clinic in Queensland are still required to wear a face mask, unless exempt.
Please wear a face mask when you are in the public areas of Medland Dental and ensure that it is properly placed to cover your mouth and nose.
Medland Dental will have a supply of masks available for patient use.
