Grants for dentists to go rural

ADAVB recently hosted an information session for dentists considering relocating to the country. Representatives from Rural Health Workforce Australia told members how the Dental Relocation and Infrastructure Support Scheme (DRISS) operates.

Under the scheme, dentists have moved to Ballarat, Bendigo, Drouin, Echuca, Kyneton, Moe, St. Arnaud and Warracknabeal.

Government grants up to $370,000 are available to support private dentists moving to rural and remote Australia through DRISS. The next funding round is open for applications from 23 February to 27 March.
