The NSW Mobile Dental Outreach Program (MDOP) delivers free dental care to adults and children in communities where access is limited due to the absence of fixed dental infrastructure or other barriers. It utilises fully equipped dental vans and portable dental equipment, enhancing existing outreach efforts to better serve community needs. Unlike school-based programs, MDOP operates in a variety of non-school settings, such as multipurpose centres and community car parks, providing care to eligible public dental patients who might otherwise miss out due to geographic isolation or transportation challenges.
The program is currently being run in the following Local Health Districts:
