It was a pleasure to be in Perth last weekend for our Regulatory and Litigation Risk Update workshop – the latest in our 2025 Risk Education series exclusive to MIPS members.

Our expert panel – MIPS’ Dr Owen Bradfield, Dr Carrie McKenzie, and Dr Gerard Clausen, alongside Enore Panetta of Panetta McGrath Lawyers – led an engaging day of discussion on some of the most relevant medico-legal issues facing practitioners today, including:
· Litigation trends and regulatory updates
· AI transcription tools – accuracy, privacy, and data security
· SafeScript compliance and notification risks
· Early release of superannuation for medical or dental treatment
· Effective strategies for managing complaints and regulatory contact

It was fantastic to connect with our WA members and see such strong participation throughout the sessions.

We were excited to continue our member Risk Education Workshop series in Melbourne last weekend, diving into some of the most pressing medico-legal issues facing practitioners in 2025.

Our expert panel – Dr Owen Bradfield, Chris Spain (Wotton + Kearney), Dr Amy Litras, and Dr Gerard Clausen – shared key insights on:
• AI transcription tools – reviewing outputs for accuracy and managing data security
• SafeScript compliance – why the software add-in alone isn’t enough
• Early release of superannuation – understanding key requirements and practitioner obligations
• Patient complaints – how your early response can shape the outcome
• Regulatory requests – always call MIPS before responding
