Overview

Oral Health Therapy at Charles Darwin University aims to develop work-ready skills through simulation and clinic-based learning. It will equip you with the skills needed to perform treatments such as fillings and tooth removals, and periodontal care. You will also play a crucial role in educating patients to maintain healthy oral habits.

CDU arranges all placements via partnerships with health and community organisations across regional, rural and remote NT locations. Students are responsible for the cost of attendance, including travel and accommodation. CDU cannot guarantee placements near your residential location. We encourage you to investigate scholarship opportunities.

There are inherent requirements for this course. You must read and understand these before enrolling.
