2023 ICD Young Dentists Volunteer Grant

Applications are now open for the next Section VIII International College of Dentists (ICD) Young Dentists Volunteer Grant which will be awarded in September 2023.

The grant is a collaborative initiative with the New Zealand Dental Association (NZDA) and the Australian Dental Association (ADA) which is awarded annually to a dentist in the Australasia region with less than 10 years’ experience in clinical practice since graduation from dental school.

The value of the grant is up to $3,500 AUD to cover airfares, accommodation and other expenses directly related to a one- or two-week volunteer experience as approved by the ICD Board. Volunteer experiences are arranged with leaders of volunteer programs supported by the Australasia Section of ICD. For the 2023 YDV grant, opportunities exist with programs in Australia, Cambodia, Fiji, Nepal, PNG, Timor Leste, Vanuatu and Vietnam.

Enquiries and requests for applications can be directed to the ICD Administrative Officer, Dr Ron Robinson, at admin@icdsectionviii.org OR you can download the application and related forms from the Section VIII website.
