Oral health partnerships launched

A consortium of Aboriginal community controlled health organisations from centres including Walgett, Bourke, Orange and Wellington have launched two oral health partnerships.

The Bila Muuji Aboriginal Health Service will sign a memorandum of understanding with Charles Sturt University to establish a student placement program for dentistry and oral health therapy graduates.

The health service has also worked in conjunction with the Greater Western Area Health Service to appoint an oral health promotion coordinator.
