The Remote Area Health Corps (RAHC) is an Indigenous-focused health workforce specialist and partner. RAHC provides health services mostly in remote and very remote Northern Territory (NT) Aboriginal communities.
As a RAHC Oral HP, you will work with a supportive team to deliver partner-informed healthcare. You don't have to give up your regular job to work with RAHC. Placements work around your other responsibilities.

- Bachelor of Dental Surgery or equivalent qualification, recognised by the Australian Dental Council (ACD).
- Current unrestricted registration as a Dentist with the Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency (AHPRA).
- Minimum of 2 years full-time post-graduate experience in a relevant clinical setting.
- Minimum of 250 hours of relevant clinical experience in the past 12 months.
- Current user licence for radiation.

- Evidence of 20 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) complaint with ADC requirements within the past 12 months.
- Evidence of current professional indemnity insurance.
