Hurry: Survey closes 1st of August

Dear Colleagues,

In preparation for the DHAA Inc. challenge of the Health Professions and Support Services Award 2010, the executive (in conjuction with Katrina Murphy - Industrial Relations Consultant) has compiled a short survey for our members.

It is important that DHAA Inc. members take the time to complete the survey as soon as possible. We are aiming for a 100% response rate so we strongly urge you to participate and have a voice in this matter that affects you. It is imperative that we collect accurate statistics to support our award challenge.

Be reassured this information is confidential and we will not be identifying the respondants. We apologise for the short timeframe in which we have given you but it will not take a long time to fill the survey out.

Once we have collated all of the data, we will post it onto the DHAA Inc. website (members only section) for your information.

Thank you once again for your time and effort filling out the employment survey.

Yours Sincerely,

DHAA Inc. Executive

18th International Symposium on Dental Hygiene 1-3 July, 2010 Glasgow UK

Australia has been a long standing member of the IFDH with current and past members holding executive positions. In 2001, the DHAA Inc. co-hosted the 15th ISDH in Sydney which was a huge success and has set the benchmark for future International Symposia. The 18th ISDH will provide a wonderful opportunity to network with international colleagues and a great combination for a European holiday. So start planning now so we can show our support for the IFDH by sending a large contingent of Aussies.
