This second edition of the ADA Guidelines incorporates a number of key areas drawn from the NHMRC Australian Guidelines for
the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare (published in October 2010). The NHMRC Guidelines should be regarded
as a companion document to the ADA document as it addresses the foundations of infection control across all healthcare
settings, including dental practice, and provides specific advice on situations where additional risk-based precautions are
warranted. This revision of the ADA Guidelines also incorporates information from the CDNA Australian National Guidelines
for the Management of Health Care Workers known to be infected with Blood-Borne Viruses (published in September 2011)
