I am pleased to on behalf of the Australian Dental and Oral Health Therapists’ Association invite you to Perth for our 6th International Conference.   

The theme of the conference is Interprofessional Practice – Outcomes Matter! Learn about innovations and evidence in oral health and develop networks and partnerships for oral health. Our Conference Committee Chair and Academic Chair, Amy Dawson and Hellene Platell, have drawn together exciting local, national and international speakers.

The 6th International ADOHTA Conference also celebrates a substantial milestone with 50 years of Dental Therapy as a profession in Western Australia!

We hope that as many of you as possible will be able to join us in Perth but for those unable to travel you can attend and present as an online delegate.

I look forward to meeting you in Perth to learn from international experts, create valuable networks and celebrate 50 years of Dental Therapy
