Volunteering offers you the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of some of Australia’s most underprivileged people. Please sign up to be on our list of volunteers who stand ready to give their time and expertise to help those in need.
Filling the Gap runs charity clinics in the four chair facility of the Clinical Training Centre at ADA NSW in St Leonards. These clinics are run in partnership with charities that support patients who have difficulty accessing dental care. We see a variety of patients including asylum seekers and disadvantaged Australians in urgent need of care.
Are there any days you are not in your clinic and your DA is under-utilised? We always need DAs for our clinics. If you have a DA who would like to join us – consider supporting them to attend.
Filling the Gap, together with various charity organisations, through a coordinated volunteer program, enables dentists to volunteer within their own practice, providing pro bono dental treatment to those in need of dental intervention.
Dentists and their staff provide dental care to a group of patients over a half day or full day within their own practice. Patients are referred by local charities and not-for-profit organisations and may have acute dental conditions, be in pain or, because of their circumstances, have been unable to access timely dental care.
Volunteer dentists and their staff are paired with one or more patients in need of more complex dental care and the practice will 'adopt' the patient over a few appointments to complete a course of pro bono treatment.
