Giving children
around Australia a
reason to smile…
Patient Eligibility
Patient Eligibility
For a child to be eligible to receive orthodontic treatment under the Give a Smile program, that patient must already be on the waiting list for orthodontic treatment in the public dental service of the state or territory in which they live.
How it works
For some families orthodontic care for children can be prohibitively expensive and for many unattainable. This is why orthodontic professionals around Australia have pledged their support to the Give a Smile initiative.

Waiting list
You or your child must already be on the waiting list for orthodontic treatment in the public dental service of the state or territory where you live.
