Platypus Dental

Equitable, Ethical and Purpose-Driven Dentistry

Platypus Dental Group welcomes the recent announcement on significant wage increases for dental support staff under the HPSS Award. Our Director, Dr Terry Pu, fully supports these changes, recognising the vital role dental assistants play in strengthening our profession and creating sustainable career growth within dentistry.

While this brings increased operational costs, we’ve made a clear commitment to our patients:

NO TREATMENT FEE INCREASES in 2026 through till June 2027.

To protect accessibility, equity of care, and the quality of our team, Dr Terry has chosen to reduce his own income — because investing in people and patient care will always come first at Platypus Dental. 💙🦷
