Over the past two years, our network of volunteers provided pro bono dental treatment to 900 patients over 1300 dental appointments, providing dental service worth more than $800,000.
Filling the Gap works in partnership with our charities to provide dental treatment to their clients who are in need, including refugees and asylum seekers, victims of domestic violence, women and men who are living in hostels and people recovering from addiction. We have a network of dentists in NSW and the ACT who provide the treatment. We rely on the generosity and expertise of dentists and dental professionals to treat patients on our waiting lists. If you are interested in volunteering at one of our clinics, see upcoming clinic dates here.
