Growth in population has placed increased pressure on the Community Services & Health sector, leading governments, organisations and communities to place increasing importance on the skills, knowledge and qualifications of staff. TAFE SA qualifications can lead to careers in the areas of community services, children's services, aged care, health and nutrition, mental health and drug education, disability work and advocacy, volunteer management, youth work, nursing, dental health, and complementary health.

Employment Outcomes On successful completion of the Advanced Diploma of Oral Health (Dental Hygiene) graduates will have completed the education and training in contemporary dental hygiene practice, enabling them to work in both private and government sectors in accordance with the legislative provisions. Note: Completion of a TAFE SA course does not guarantee an employment outcome. Formal requirements other than educational qualifications (eg licensing, professional registration), may apply to some occupations.
