What cover is available to dentists?

If you’re like many Australian dentists, you may be working in a small practice, which you may part own, or be working in a larger practice or hospital.

You can find a MIPS membership category to cover your area of practice and amend the basis for full private practice, both private and employer indemnified practice, or full employer indemnified practice. MIPS provides cover for several thousand of Australia’s 18,000 dentists and provides highly competitive rates.

If you work in a small private practice your cover may also extend to your practice staff (e.g. practice managers, receptionists and assistants) in relation to your healthcare practice.

Private practice cover for dentists in training

To support practitioners in their studies and practical training MIPS offers cover for non-employer indemnified practice for dentist specialists in training with a fee waived membership. This cover is offered in the spirit of MIPS' not-for-profit ethos so dentists are free to develop their skills. Conditions apply. See the Member Handbook.

If you have graduated in the in the last five years, your MIPS Membership will be fee waived for the first 12 months. As a member-based organisation, we’re here to support recent dental graduates both professionally and financially. Learn more about cover for recent dental graduates here.

Choose MIPS to protect your purpose

Many dental professionals choose to join MIPS and still keep their membership with the ADA or DHAA.
