Full members also gain voting rights at the society’s AGMs, giving them a voice in shaping the future of hospital and community dentistry.
General Membership
Membership is open to any registered dental practitioner with an interest in public health dentistry (NZ registered dental practitioners also need to be members of the NZ Dental Association as the society is affiliated to the NZDA).
Honorary Life Membership
Honorary life members are elected at the Annual General Meeting in recognition of outstanding service to either the association, or the disciplines of Hospital or Community Dentistry.
Honorary life members pay no subscription, but have full membership rights. Nominations will be accepted at the Annual General Meeting.
