Supporting Quality, Safety and Continuous Improvement
At Dentists @ Canning Vale, we are proud to be a QIP accredited dental practice. Since October 2016, our practice has participated in accreditation processes designed to support quality, safety, risk management and continuous improvement in healthcare settings.
QIP, or Quality Innovation Performance, provides accreditation services for health, community and human service organisations across Australia. Accreditation involves reviewing systems, processes and standards to support safe, consistent and well-managed care.
For our patients, QIP accreditation reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining quality systems, improving practice processes and providing dental care in a professional and carefully managed environment.
What Is QIP Accreditation?
QIP accreditation is an external accreditation process that helps health services assess the way they operate, manage risk and support quality improvement.
For dental practices, accreditation can involve reviewing areas such as:
- Patient safety systems
- Infection prevention and control
- Clinical governance
- Risk management
- Staff training and development
- Patient communication
- Record keeping and documentation
- Continuous quality improvement
Rather than being a one-time achievement, accreditation supports an ongoing approach to reviewing and improving how a practice operates.
What Does QIP Accreditation Mean for Patients?
Choosing a QIP accredited dental practice means the clinic has participated in a structured quality and safety review process.
At Dentists @ Canning Vale, this supports our focus on:
Patient Safety
We aim to maintain systems and processes that support safe dental care across the practice.
Quality Improvement
Our team regularly reviews practice procedures and looks for ways to improve the patient experience and clinical environment.
Risk Management
Accreditation encourages healthcare practices to identify, monitor and reduce risks across both clinical and non-clinical areas.
Team Education
Our dental team is encouraged to stay engaged with policies, procedures and quality improvement systems.
Consistent Practice Standards
Accreditation helps support consistency across patient care, practice operations and team responsibilities.
Our Commitment to Quality Dental Care
At Dentists @ Canning Vale, quality care is about more than the treatment provided in the dental chair. It also includes how we communicate, how we manage appointments, how we maintain our clinical environment and how we support patients throughout their dental visit.

- Professional
- Carefully planned
- Supported by clear systems
- Delivered in a clean and organised environment
- Focused on long-term oral health
We believe that a commitment to quality improvement helps create a better experience for patients, families and our wider Canning Vale community.

This may include improvements to:
- Appointment processes
- Patient information and communication
- Infection control systems

- Staff training
- Patient feedback processes
- Practice policies and procedures
Our goal is to continue developing as a practice while maintaining a high standard of care for our patients.
