Southern is a great place to work. We work well together, we have access to equipment as you would in larger centres.
Lyndall Parker - Oral Health Therapist
We've just recently been given new X-ray equipment and we've got all the latest technology at our fingertips.
Myra Niemeier - Oral Health Project and Program Administrator, Bega
The kids come into the clinic and the clinician that's there on site they can take X-rays and photos and they all directly upload to the Specialists that's in Sydney. The parent can actually have the conversation with the specialist in Sydney while they're still here in town.
