
The best aspect of the program is having the chance
to work within school dental and the community. I
enjoy working the public system and interacting with
other health professionals.

Service Provider
Lemuel has displayed a true commitment to his clinical
practice, which has therefore contributed to a reduction
in the lengthy public waiting list at Rockhampton
Community Dental.
The main project Lemuel is involved in is working with the
Child Dental Benefit Scheme. He has seen numerous
patients in regards to this scheme.
Lemuel has maintained close working relations with his
fellow colleagues. He has been fortunate enough to have
been mentored by a number of Oral Health Therapist in
Rockhampton.

The program’s curriculum was relevant, especially
when I was working with children in the community.
Ultimately, it helped to further develop my knowledge
and learning. 
