You will be working with a team of qualified and experienced dentists, oral health therapists and dental assistants whilst being supported by an expert program management team who are all passionate about providing dental care to those who need it most. Accommodation, meals and travel is provided, as well as the opportunity to attend a wide range of CPD events.

The role requires travelling to rural locations across Victoria for an entire working week. We have flexible fixed term part-time and casual opportunities available. Ranging from working with us a few weeks a year to one week per month, or on a rotating roster (e.g. one week on, one week off).
