| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Ahpra register record for Dr Dean Christopher White (MED0001165753): registration status Registered, specialist registration Surgery / Plastic surgery — the specialty the practice advertises. [ahpra] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by the licence number the clinic itself publishes. Matched by registration number MED0001165753 in the Ahpra Register of practitioners; one direct match, registration status Registered, first registered 09/12/1996. [ahpra] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 20 September 2026 — The clinic names no licensed facility: its own address is a consulting suite (Suite 1, Level 1, The Avani Building, 12 Nelson Road, Box Hill) and the site says only that procedures are performed in accredited hospital facilities. Sweep of both Victorian lists for "Dean White", "Dean White Plastic Surgery", "Avani", "Nelson Road" and postcode 3128 returned no row (the only Box Hill 3128 entry is Whitehorse Day Surgery, 852-856 Whitehorse Road, which the clinic does not name). |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. The practice trades under a brand: its home page, contact page, terms and conditions and privacy policy name no legal entity and publish no ABN or ACN. An ABN Lookup name search on "Dean White Plastic Surgery" returned no entity or business name matching the practice. [site] [site-terms] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. Physician’s AHPRA registration number published on the clinic's own site; no legal-entity or facility number published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative on the home page. [site] the highest level of care possible |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Consent, risk/complication and aftercare content published; no revision policy or complaint route found. [site] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.

What we could not verify

- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.

Change history
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 20 September 2026 | summary: null → null (Summary re-worded: the specialist claim is now carried by the national register of practitioners, not by a society directory.) |
| 20 September 2026 | axes.M5: null → 2 (Re-run against ABN Lookup and the clinic’s own pages (v1.2 loop pass 1): the clinic names no legal entity, so the ladder caps this cell at brand only.) |

| 20 September 2026 | facts: "M1 secondary finding (society directory)" → null (The specialist register is reachable and M1 is scored from it; the card fact recorded under the closed-register rule no longer applies.) |
| 20 September 2026 | axes.M3: null → 5 (Re-run against the Ahpra Register of practitioners (v1.2 loop pass 1): placeholder retry replaced by a live lookup on the registration number.) |
| 20 September 2026 | axes.M1: null → 5 (Re-run against the Ahpra Register of practitioners (v1.2 loop pass 1): the register answers a plain form POST to a short tool user agent, so M1 is scored from the official register.) |
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M1: 2 → null (Methodology v1.2 (owner ruling 2026-09-18): M1 is not scored where the country's specialist register is closed; the secondary finding moved to facts[]) |
