THE NORTHERN TERRITORY BRANCH

The NT Branch is the newest branch of the ADA.  Membership is voluntary and virtually all dentists who live and work in the Northern Territory are members. Visiting specialists, as members of other branches, enjoy the privileges of local membership.  There are usually transient dentists working in the Territory and many of these take out membership.  Arrangements are in hand for members of other Dental Associations who are visiting the Territory to enjoy reciprocal benefits at little or no cost. Membership classes are City or Country.
