Good oral health has a significant impact on overall well-being and quality of life. As a Dentist working in remote communities, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families.
The NT Remote Locum Program is an initiative that aims to strengthen and uplift existing health services 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 holistic 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 help guide you in providing culturally safe oral health care.

What We Offer
We will take care of the arrangements for your placement, ensuring a smooth transition into your new role. You will be provided with cultural orientation and ongoing support to enable you to concentrate on providing high-quality oral health care services to the community.

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 ensure a seamless transition, we will offer:
* Free online training valid for CPD with ACRRM
* 24/7 support
