The ADA Dental Health Foundation seeks to improve the dental health of Australians who cannot easily access or afford dental care.
The team around Australia coordinates the delivery of pro bono dental treatment to disadvantaged members of the community. The Foundation accepts referrals to the Volunteer Dental Programs for clients who are being supported by a registered charity or not-for-profit organisation. Our volunteer dentists provide their time, expertise and practice facilities at no cost to eligible patients.
The ADA Dental Health Foundation also funds programs that encourage better oral health outcomes and reduce the inequality of access to education within the community through our Community Service Grants, First Nations Study Grants and oral health education projects.
Our mission is to address the inequality between those Australians who can access the dental care they need, and those who can’t. We want better access to quality dental care for all Australians regardless of their financial, geographical or social situation.

Our programs
The ADA Dental Health Foundation coordinates the delivery of pro bono dental treatment to disadvantaged members of the community through our well-established Volunteer Programs.
Our State Coordinators work with local charities and not for profit organisations to identify clients who will benefit from an improvement in their oral health. We work with a network of dental professionals around the country who volunteer their time, expertise and practice facilities to provide treatment to referred patients.
Through the generosity of our supporters, practitioners are able to access free laboratory services and patients may be referred for specialist treatment.
