Dental Assistant – NT Remote Locum Program

Good oral health can influence the well-being of the whole body and mind.

The NT Remote Locum Program is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led remote health workforce program. We work to strengthen and uplift existing health services in the NT to provide quality healthcare to their communities. 

We are looking for skilled and experienced Dental Assistants work as part of a holistic community health service team. You will be supported by highly experienced Aboriginal health practitioners, General Practitioners, nurses, drivers and administration staff. The team’s remote knowledge will assist and guide you to provide culturally safe oral health care.

Essential experience and qualifications:

• Certificate III in Dental Assisting or equivalent.12 months of relevant clinical experience
• Current CPR/BLS certification
• Evidence of recent CPD in Hand Hygiene, Infection Control and Sterilisation/ Introduction to reprocessing reusable Medical Devices in the past 12 months.
• Minimum of 6 months of relevant full-time clinical experience working as a dental assistant within the past 2 years

What’s in it for you?

We’ll take care of the arrangements for your placement, talking to you and the health service you will be joining throughout the process.

As you transition to a remote setting, we provide cultural orientation and ongoing support so you can concentrate on providing a quality oral health care service to the community.

As an urban-based dental assistant, you already have the skills to work in a remote community. But the health issues you work with in remote communities might be different to those in urban and rural areas. You can expect to expand your skills and knowledge and we provide plenty of resources to support your new experiences, including the NT Remote Locum Program eLearning program.

So you can transition smoothly, we will provide:

• 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.
