Higgins Dental Celebrates Local and National Recognition for Excellence

We’re incredibly proud to share some exciting news — Higgins Dental has been recognised for excellence at both the local and national level!

This year, Higgins Dental has been named as one of only two dental clinics in the ACT to be nominated in the Local Business Awards for the category of Outstanding Health Improvement Services. This marks our third nomination in just four years, reflecting our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional dental care and improving the oral health of our community.

At the same time, we’re honoured to announce that Higgins Dental is also the only dental clinic in the ACT to be named a finalist in the 2025 Australian Professional Small Business Champion Awards — a national recognition celebrating excellence, innovation, and leadership among small businesses across Australia.

Adding to this achievement, Dr. Chris Phillips has been recognised nationally as one of only eight finalists in the Leader in Health and Medical category. This prestigious honour acknowledges outstanding leadership, clinical excellence, and a genuine dedication to advancing healthcare in Australia.

These nominations mean a great deal to our entire team. They reflect the hard work, care, and compassion that go into every patient experience at Higgins Dental. Most importantly, they’re a celebration of our wonderful patients and the community that continues to support us year after year.

From all of us at Higgins Dental — thank you for being part of our journey and for trusting us with your care.
