Throughout its history in Australia the dental profession has operated primarily as a self-regulating profession. In recent years this paradigm has come under challenge from a number of quarters. Among these sources of challenge are Australia's various anti-discrimination laws, together with a more consumer-oriented approach to the development of broad public policies. This paper seeks to explore the issues in anti-discrimination law as they relate to the balance between the rights of patients and the rights of dentists. The particular problems dealing with the treatment of patients with HIV/AIDS is explored before consideration is given to other issues of social justice and equity within the dental profession. The responsibilities of dentists as health care providers and as employers are considered. Some final observations are offered on the future developments of public policy in relation to this question.
在澳大利亚，牙科行业在其发展历程中一直主要作为一个自我监管的行业运作。近年来，这一模式受到了来自多个方面的挑战。这些挑战来源包括澳大利亚的各种反歧视法律，以及在制定广泛公共政策时更倾向消费者的方法。本文旨在探讨反歧视法中与患者权利和牙医权利之间平衡相关的问题。在考虑牙科行业内其他社会正义和平等问题之前，先探讨处理艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者治疗的具体问题。同时考虑牙医作为医疗服务提供者和雇主的责任。最后就与该问题相关的公共政策未来发展提出了一些看法。
