The RFDS in WA

Many people living in WA's vast and remote regions do not have access to a regular dental service. 

Recognising the important link between oral health and overall health, the RFDS delivers a free dental service to people faced with geographical and/or socioeconomic barriers. 

The RFDS dental health team in WA reaches patients in the Goldfields, Midwest and Kimberley regions to provide vital oral health education, screening and treatment. 

Dental health services are provided via a purpose-built dental van and fly-in fly-out clinics and are funded by the Commonwealth Government and Remote Area Dental Service (RADS).

Clinics coming soon: 

• Kimberley - Beagle Bay, Fitzroy Crossing, Balgo, Ringer Soak
  
• Pilbara - Roebourne, Wickham

Our work in the Kimberley and Goldfields regions 

The RFDS partners with Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS) clinics in Broome, Derby, Halls Creek and Kununurra to deliver free dental health services, visiting each site on a rotational basis four times each year. 

Thanks to funding provided by the Remote Area Dental Service (RADS), our team also visit the remote communities of Warburton and Wiluna eight and 10 times each year respectively. 

The delivery of dental health clinics in Warburton and Wiluna are via partnership agreements with local AMS clinics and fly-in fly-out clinics facilitated by the RFDS.
