In keeping with the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standard 5.5.7, we train workers to have the knowledge and skills in delivering oral hygiene (for natural teeth and dentures) and supporting older people with complex needs or behaviours to maintain their oral health and prevent decline.

Our vision is to be the preferred provider of oral health care training and referral pathways in the aged, home and disability sectors in Australia.
Our mission is to provision of up-to-date dentally-led evidence to inform oral health assessments, care plans, coaching and clinical referral pathways.
