New Publication for DAs Launched

The ADAVB has launched a new digital newsletter called the ADAVB Dental Post, designed for dental assistants employed by ADAVB members.

This publication is offered as a value added service for members to assist them in keeping their staff up to date with workplace, OHS, training, and other news.

The first edition contains information about recent changes to the Dental (Private Sector Victoria) Award - which are fully detailed in the March ADAVB Newsletter (due out late next week). It also encourages registration at the ADAVB Dental Assistants' Convention, which is being held in conjunction with the ADAVB Convention and ADX Dental Expo in late May.

The ADAVB Dental Post includes links to a survey for employers and another for dental assistants regarding DA training. Complete this survey by 31 March to be in the draw for an iPod Nano (one only for employer respondents and one only for DAs).

Employer members are welcome to subscribe to this publication or to allow their staff to subscribe directly. It is important to note however that this subscription will only continue while the employer remains a member of the ADAVB. DAs who subscribe will therefore be linked to their employer on the mailing list, and that list will be edited whenever the ADAVB membership database is modified.

While the first edition of ADAVB Dental Post was disseminated via ADAVB Alert! email to subscribing members, a sample is available for inspection at the Branch website.

Subscriptions to the ADAVB Dental Post are free, but will only be made available where the dental assistant is employed by a current financial member of the Branch. In other words, where a dentist ceases to be a member, the employee/s will cease to receive the publication.
