We advocate for the profession, provide professional development, deliver member services, and support our dental community to improve oral health outcomes across the state. Our values - service, professionalism, integrity and respect - underpin everything we do.
In this role, you’ll be a trusted financial professional behind the scenes, ensuring the numbers are accurate, the reporting is clear, and the organisation is meeting its financial obligations. Whether you’re assisting with budgets, supporting audit preparation, or helping improve internal systems, your work will directly support our ability to serve members and the broader community.
