Ceasing practice

What happens when I retire, or cease Dental practice in Australia?
04 May 2021

If you are permanently ceasing Dental practice in Australia either because of retirement or relocation overseas, please email, in the first instance [email protected] as your policy will be placed into a leave of absence category as a renewable policy, for the next four years to give you the flexibility to return to practice if your circumstances change. This provides you with retroactive cover for your past practice, ensuring you are covered for any claims that may arise from your previous practice* and meets the requirements of the Dental Board of Australia that you maintain retroactive cover for your past practice. Following four years of a leave of absence, you may be eligible for an extended reporting period (ERP) subject to approval by MDA National Insurance which will continue to provide you with ongoing cover for any matters you become aware of after your retirement. If you cease practice and do not place your insurance into run-off, you may be liable for any claims that are notified after the last date of your policy.
