About the role

This is more than a job, it’s your chance to step into public health, make a real difference.

As part of WA Health’s early childhood oral health program, you’ll visit local community centres, libraries, and playgroups to provide oral screenings, fluoride applications, and health education for children aged 0-4 years. You won’t be in a dental chair, you’ll be in the heart of the community, helping parents and carers build lifelong healthy habits with their kids.

No treatment quotas. Just purposeful, people-first work that fits into your life. Whether you're new into your career or seeking a meaningful alternative to private practice, this is the perfect role to grow your career in a fresh direction.
