About this role
Your opportunity
To deliver high‑quality oral health services across the South West District, this role provides clinical dental treatment to eligible patients with a focus on managing, treating, and preventing dental disease. It also serves as a referral point for clinical matters raised by other practitioners within the oral health team. In addition, the role offers advice and information on the management of complex medical or oral health cases, including those requiring treatment under general anaesthesia.
The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.
Escape the city crowds and discover the red dirt wonderland where the skies are as big as the characters you will meet. Charleville is the largest town in South West Queensland, situated on the banks of the Warrego River in the heart of Mulga Country. Charleville is a reminder that the good things in life shouldn't be hurried, it's a chance to embrace the simple things in life and a celebration of community spirit with the annual Charleville Cup Races the highlight of summer.
