What We Offer
We'll handle the arrangements for your placement, communicating with you and the health service you'll be joining throughout the process.
As you transition to a remote setting, we provide cultural orientation and ongoing support so you can 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'll encounter in remote communities may differ from those in urban and rural areas.
You can expect to expand your skills and knowledge, and we provide ample resources to support your new experiences, including the NT Remote Locum Program eLearning program.
For a smooth transition, we offer:
* Free online training valid for CPD with ACRRM
* 24/7 support
* Information about the community where your placement is, and logistical information about travelling to, living and working there
