Australian Dental Health Victoria – School Dental Services is an independent initiative dedicated to providing comprehensive dental treatment to all school students, surpassing the Medicare eligibility criteria. The organization operates autonomously, ensuring that both eligible and non-eligible children receive essential dental care. By focusing on improving oral health, Australian Dental Health aims to enhance children’s overall well-being, enabling them to communicate, eat, and socialize confidently.
With a commitment to addressing oral health disparities among Australian children, Australian Dental Health has been delivering equal opportunities for dental treatment over the past five years. By utilizing the Medicare Child Benefits Schedule (CDBS) for children, the initiative offers free dental services to schools, going beyond government funding to ensure every student has access to dental examinations. Through on-site visits to schools, children can receive treatment in a familiar and comfortable environment, aligning with the organization’s philosophy of promoting oral health education alongside practical care.
Established in 2014, Australian Dental Health has been actively engaging with schools across Australia, providing ethical and safe dental treatments to students. By offering interactive oral health classes that complement the curriculum, the organization emphasizes the importance of proper oral care and education. Australian Dental Health’s unwavering dedication to serving Australian schools underscores its mission to prioritize the well-being and oral health of all students, fostering a culture of respect and inclusivity.
