The Ballarat Base Hospital has moved its dental department from the Ballarat Base Hospital to a completely new 20 
chair facility in Sebastopol.
 
None of the old equipment went into the new facility
         
DHSV and BHS generously offered all of the fittings and most of the dental equipment to Ballarat West Rotary club 
to reuse. Expressions of interest for various items of this equipment have been received from dental departments in the Solomon Islands, Fiji and 
Vanuatu for this equipment.  The total value of all this equipment, fixtures and fittings would be in excess of $250,000.
 
Members of Ballarat West Rotary club held working Bees to move this equipment which is now provisionally stored 
prior to shipping to the Pacific Is. Thanks to our club members Garry Harrowfield, Ian Rowe, Paul Trevenen, Wayne 
Cooper, Darryl Elford, John DeDeugd, Neil Edwards, David Larkin and David Goldsmith for doing a mighty job!
