Adelaide Dental Hospital Fragrance Control Notice

September 2, 2006

Following a complaint to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission by a patient with multiple chemical sensitivity, the South Australian Dental Service has agreed to post signage on the notice board at the Adelaide Dental Hospital requesting patients to consider avoiding using fragrances prior to dental appointments.

The notice includes recognition of MCS as a disability under equal opportunity laws and states that the SA Dental Service is committed to equal access to services for people with disabilities. A copy of the signage is available below.

The SA Dental Service should be congratulated on its pro-active stance on MCS and its willingness to consider the needs of people with MCS who require access to dental health care.
