About Us

About the Role

RFDS Victoria are currently seeking experienced Oral Health Therapists (with and without extended scope) to provide essential dental services to communities across rural Victoria.

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.

This is a fixed term, part-time role, requiring travel to rural locations across Victoria on a one week on, one week off basis.
