Nominations for the 2015 Public Oral Health Awards are now open. The awards represent a great opportunity to recognise our talented oral health practitioners and the projects they have been working on throughout the year, as well as highlight the important contributions members of the community make within the public system.
There are four award categories and oral health professionals as well members of the public are invited to nominate those who have gone the extra mile for patients within Victoria’s public dental health clinics.
Winners will receive $5,000* to attend a health conference of their choice to continue their professional development.
The categories for the Awards are:
|
Star of public dentistry Nominate an exceptional dental health practitioner who has helped to improve patient satisfaction and treatment outcomes and has encouraged and supported other professionals in the public oral health sector. |
Oral health project of the year Nominate a project that provides the highest level of excellence in oral health project management and outcomes for the public dental sector. |

Public dental clinic of the year Nominate the clinic that shows excellence in oral health service provision in the public dental sector and has helped to improve service delivery at the clinic or in the wider public dental sector. |
