‘We had equipment from somewhere else originally, but we chose Radincon for the quality of the equipment and because of their reputation. The after sales service is amazing. We call on Sundays or after hours and we always get help. I remember one weekend Alex was on his way out to attend a wedding, but he stopped and took the time to help us out.’

– Christine Kidd and Pauline Gaven, Manly Road Veterinary Hospital

It’s also why we have loan equipment, for when things go badly wrong.

One client called us on a Sunday because all his equipment had been damaged in a fire. We sprang into action, testing and prepping the required units from our fleet to send out straightaway. By Tuesday, the practice was operational again.

Payday Super

Comments Off on Payday Super

From 1 July 2026 employers must pay superannuation contributions on payday, with funds received by the employee’s super fund within seven business days.

At the moment, employers need to pay employees’ super contributions at least every 3 months and into the employee’s nominated account.
Under the new rules, employers will need to pay employees’ super contributions at the same time they pay their salary or wages so that the contributions reach the employees’ nominated account within 7 business days. There are some exceptions, for example the first super contribution for a new employee will need to be made within 20 business days of the salary or wages being paid.

Super guarantee is calculated as 12% of QE (Qualifying Earnings), which includes OTE (Ordinary Time Earnings) and other payments. The ATO is the primary enforcement agency for the compulsory super guarantee. The ATO is responsible for implementing the new rules and has prepared a fact sheet about the changes.

As a reminder about who should be receiving Super payments from their employer, in Australia, Employers must pay Super (the Super Guarantee) for

  • employees 18 years+
  • employees under 18 years working more than 30 hours a week.
  • some contractors paid primarily for labour, even if they have an ABN

Temporary residents (eg. working holiday makers) are also eligible for superannuation.

For more information about Superannuation in Australia, see our previous article published in December 2025 – Superannuation – Australia.

Emergency Animal Diseases Guide 2025 update

Comments Off on Emergency Animal Diseases Guide 2025 update

There is a useful resource for vets produced by the Department of Agriculture and Australia’s Animal Health Laboratory. The 2025 update includes new chapters on diseases and syndromes that have emerged or increased in importance since the previous edition.

The EAD field guide provides information on important emergency animal diseases that either are rare or do not exist in Australia, to help vets include appropriate EADs in their differential diagnoses. Early identification and reporting is critical to minimise harm and to identify currently high risk exotic diseases such as African Swine Fever.

https://www.outbreak.gov.au/for-vets-and-scientists/emergency-animal-diseases-guide

There is also information on the Outbreak website about emerging diseases for vets to watch out for – which may be particularly useful for vets who are travelling Australia performing locum work, or who graduated overseas.

iM3 – SANOS Companion Animal Veterinary Dental Sealant

Comments Off on iM3 – SANOS Companion Animal Veterinary Dental Sealant

CLINICAL INFORMATION

One of the biggest challenges for animal dental care is keeping the gingival sulcus clean. Dental problems are often caused by plaque at the gingival sulcus and lead to irreversible periodontal disease. Therefore, veterinary dental cleaning is essential for dogs and cats. However, plaque starts to reattach to the teeth within hours after a dental cleaning if no take-home dental care is administered afterwards.

Unfortunately, client/owner compliance with instructions for daily brushing is approximately 1% This is where SANOS® veterinary dental barrier sealant can help. SANOS® is designed to extend the life of a dental cleaning when applied immediately following a professional dental cleaning. SANOS® can best be described as a self-hardening liquid bandage device that helps and aids in gingival and oral health.

Importantly, no take-home follow-up application is required by the client and one application lasts up to 6 months. The SANOS® application is put in the hands of the professional to make sure the patient receives the application correctly and in a timely fashion.

When applied as directed, SANOS® can sometimes be mistaken for plaque along the gingival margin. Eating/chewing habits can change SANOS® appearance along the gingival margin over time. The thick appearance of applied SANOS® will become a thinner film over time as the non-toxic solvents wash out of the polymer.

SANOS® is for use after every professional dental cleaning to help protect the “difficult to reach areas” such as the caudal teeth. SANOS® is for prevention of plaque and tartar in the gingival sulcus, not the visible cosmetic area of the crown. SANOS® will remain under the gingival margin and continue to work for extended periods of time.

CANINE & FELINE STUDIES

NOTE: Be sure to apply a thick film to any observed trouble spots such as the carnassial upper 4th premolar 208 and upper 3rd premolar 207. Compare gingival margin at the upper 3rd/4th premolar 207 in photos:

KEYS TO SUCCESS FOR A DENTAL CARE PROGRAM

  • Start preventive care young.
  • Dental wellness must be emphasized in every office visit.
  • Increase interval of wellness visits with severity of periodontal disease.
  • Discuss full anesthetic dentistry with puppy/kitten owners to promote prevention and have a professional dental cleaning performed when recommended by your veterinarian.
  • Entire staff must be on the same page.
  • Set goals in your practice to promote dental care.
