Invitation from the Chair of the Local Organising Committee

We would be delighted to welcome you to the ADA NSW Convention 2009. Canberra has been carefully chosen as the site of this event due to the city’s accessibility, attractions, incredible venues and friendly locals. Our scientifi c programme is following a Shakespearean theme: As You Like It - the seven ages of man, and aims to expand on this theme with sessions for all members of the dental team. We are proud to be partnering with the NSW Dental Assistants’ (Professional) Association to deliver sessions especially for staff.

The event will be accompanied by a social programme not to be missed with art, music, photography, wine tours, fi ne food, tennis and golf, concluding with a fi nal brunch session featuring the stars of the scientifi c programme. And of course, there will be a trade exhibition running concurrently to the Convention.

I look forward to welcoming you and your team to Canberra in November 09.

Australian Dental Association (NSW Branch)

The NSW Branch of the Australian Dental Association (ADA NSW) is the professional association of dentists in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. We provide services for members to enable them to deliver the best possible standard of care to the community.

As the peak dental body in NSW and the ACT, we work with the State and Territory governments to ensure all members of the community are able to access the dental services they need. ADA NSW has more than 3,500 members across all work sectors, which represents approximately 85 per cent of registered dentists.

NSW Dental Assistants’
(Professional) Association

The NSW Dental Assistants’ (Professional) Association works for the general advancement of their members and to further the professional, social and industrial welfare of dental assistants and receptionists. The NSW DAA is excited to be joining with ADA NSW to incorporate their successful “Big Day Out” into the Convention programme. The provision of an educational stream especially for dental assistants at this event makes this the best opportunity ever for dental staff to participate, learn and network at a dental convention.
