Volunteer with The Water Well Project - Upcoming New Volunteer Training in Hobart!

Saturday 22nd August, 10am - 1pm (Registrations from 9:30am)
West Moonah Neighbourhood House

Are you an AHPRA-registered healthcare professional or a final-year student in training? Use your skills and knowledge to help communities better understand health, prevention and how to navigate the Australian healthcare system.

The Water Well Project is an award-winning charity that has delivered more than 2,000 free, interactive health education sessions to over 30,000 participants from migrant, refugee and asylum seeker communities across Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania.

Many community members face real barriers to understanding health information and navigating the Australian healthcare system. These can lead to missed preventative care, delayed help-seeking and poorer health outcomes. Our free, interactive sessions help make health information clearer, more practical and easier to act on.

Why volunteer with The Water Well Project?

- communicate health information in clear, accessible and culturally responsive ways

- work effectively with interpreters and diverse community groups

- better understand the barriers that affect health access and outcomes for migrant, refugee and asylum seeker communities

- make a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of people from migrant, refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds.

- become part of a supportive, like-minded community of healthcare professionals committed to health equity

- CPD points may apply!

In today’s clinical environment, risk management extends far beyond the treatment chair. From navigating the professional challenges of social media to making sound clinical decisions under pressure, dentists face increasing scrutiny in every aspect of practice.

ADANSW have opened access to ADATas members for two essential sessions (free for members) designed to help you protect your reputation, strengthen your judgement, and improve patient outcomes. How to Unfollow Social Media Risks explores the legal, ethical and professional pitfalls of online engagement, while Clinical Decision Making: Reducing Risk and Improving Patient Outcomes provides practical strategies to enhance diagnostic reasoning, minimise errors and support safer patient care.

Together, these courses will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions, both online and in practice.
