ORAL HEALTH CARE FOR SCHOOL STUDENTS

Dental care, with no out of pocket cost, is offered to all Queensland students from the age of 4 to the completion of Grade 10 through the School Dental Service. Children aged 0 - 4 years and students in Year 11 -12, may be eligible for treatment if they receive Childhood Dental Benefit Scheme or if they have a current concessional health care card.  The Dental Team consists of a Dentist, Dental Therapists, Oral Health Therapists and Dental Assistants.  You will be advised if your child needs specialist dental treatment.

Students at St Joseph’s School Stanthorpe are now being offered dental treatment through the School Dental Service at the Dental Van at St Joseph’s School Stanthorpe.

If you would like your child/children to participate in the free dental care program, please complete each section of the registration form (which has been sent home with your child/children), sign and return it to the School Office by Wednesday 4 September, 2024. Please note that by signing this form, you are only advising our service of your wish to participate in the dental care program and providing personal information to allow us to contact you. 

Our process for making your child’s first appointment with us has recently changed.  Our first point of contact may be via SMS.  If responding via the Call Centre on 1300 082 662, please choose Option 3 to speak with School Dental Service.

Students will be seen at the Dental Van at St Joseph’s School Stanthorpe.
