RiskBites - Compassionate release of superannuation
It might surprise many of our listeners to learn that compassionate grounds for the early release of superannuation have actually been around for a long time since 1 July 1994, shortly after Australia’s modern superannuation system was introduced.And since 1 July 2018, it’s the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) that has been responsible for approving these applications.This topic has been attracting a lot of attention lately, and not always for the right reasons. Heightened media coverage, combined with some unfortunate commentary, has led to questions being raised about the integrity of our profession. In this episode of RiskBites, we unpack what’s really going on. We separate fact from fiction, talk through what compassionate release actually involves, and share practical guidance for navigating an area that’s now under close scrutiny. The goal is simple: to help our members feel informed, confident, and clear about their responsibilities in a rapidly evolving space.

RiskBites - Navigating language barriers
In this episode of RiskBites Dr Annalene Weston is joined by her colleague and fellow dentolegal consultant, Dr Kiran Keshwara, to explore a topic that’s becoming increasingly relevant in Australian dental practice.Australia is a rapidly changing and culturally diverse nation. In fact, more than half of our population was either born overseas or has at least one parent who was. That diversity enriches our communities, but it can also present real challenges in clinical settings.These interactions can be complex, nuanced, and at times confusing, particularly when important clinical information, consent, or risk needs to be clearly understood.In this episode, we explore how to navigate language barriers safely, respectfully, and effectively.

RiskBites - Working with your laboratory
In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked art of communicating effectively with your dental laboratory.Dentists and technicians exchange information daily across multiple channels and on a vast range of clinical and technical matters. Yet, as Dentolegal consultant, Dr Simon Parsons notes, many opportunities to strengthen this communication and ultimately improve clinical outcomes are frequently missed.To understand why this happens and what clinicians can do to bridge the gap, Dr Annalene Weston speaks with Simon, who brings a unique dual perspective shaped by his time working within a large dental laboratory and his own clinical experience. Join us for a conversation that may just transform the way you work with your lab.

RiskBites - Perfectly, imperfect
As we move into the festive season and the final days of 2025, many of us naturally pause for reflection, looking back, looking inward, and looking ahead. For our last Risk Bites episode of the year, we wanted to close not with something heavy, but with something uplifting. So, in this episode, Dr Annalene Weston and Mrs Anita Kemp explore the idea of perfection, both the pursuit of aesthetic perfection and the quieter tyranny of personal perfectionism that shapes so much of our behaviour. Listen in as Annalene poses a powerful question: What would happen if we stopped striving to be perfect and instead allowed ourselves to aim for personal excellence?Could this shift our mindset and allow us to be kinder to ourselves, something we all deeply deserve?
