Quality oral health care is essential for overall well-being, and as a Dentist working in remote communities, you will have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on individuals and families.
The NT Remote Locum Program is a collaborative effort between health services and government agencies to enhance healthcare delivery in the Northern Territory. Our team works closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led health services to provide quality healthcare to their communities.
We are seeking skilled and experienced Dentists to join our team as part of a comprehensive community health service. You will be supported by highly experienced Aboriginal health practitioners, General Practitioners, nurses, drivers, and administration staff. The team's knowledge and expertise will assist you in providing culturally safe oral health care.
Requirements
* Current NT Radiation License or application for NT Radiation License

Support and Resources
We will handle the arrangements for your placement, ensuring a smooth transition into your new role. You will receive cultural orientation and ongoing support to enable you to focus on delivering high-quality oral health care services to the community.
As an urban-based dentist, you already possess the skills to work in a remote community. However, the health issues you will encounter may differ from those in urban and rural areas. This presents an opportunity to expand your skills and knowledge, and we will provide you with the necessary resources to support your new experiences.
To facilitate a seamless transition, we will offer:
* Free online training valid for CPD with ACRRM
* 24/7 support
* Information about the community where your placement is located, and logistical information about traveling to, living, and working there
