Individual tax receipts are not issued for multiple enrolments in the one transaction. Melbourne Dental School cannot issue separate receipts at a later date for multiple person enrolments. Upon receiving your enrolment, MDS will forward confirmation of course details.

• Failure to dress appropriately for this setting may result in participants not being able to enter these designated training areas.
