What is ADSA today?​​
 

ADSA is the only national body to represent all dental, oral health therapy and hygiene students in Australia. We aim to foster communication between the schools, support you through your course and keep all dental students informed of issues that affect student life and our profession.

​

The success of ADSA relies on you, the individual dental student. Your enthusiasm and involvement are the basis behind the core of our association, so get your friends together and get involved with all we have to offer!!

 

Between the various committee roles, oral health promotion excursions, rural visits and the Australian Dental Students' Convention, there is certainly something to tickle your fancy!

 

 

The Committee

Committee members are derived from each of the representing schools and their student societies to provide input and representation of students in their respective schools. The Committee always strive to obtain balance and understanding and cater for students from all participating universities.

​

The ADSA committee comprises two main bodies: the executive committee and the general committee.

 

Executive Committee

The executive body is responsible for leadership, liaison with fellow dental organisations and other health student organisations as well as the evolution and continuation of the committee.

 

The executive body consists of four members: 

• President

• Vice President (new position in 2015)

• Secretary

• Treasurer

• Immediate Past President.

​

General Committee

The general committee consists of  

• Sponsorship Officer,

• Rural Officer,

• Media Officer,

• Publications Officer

as well as

• University representatives from each university.

 

 

University Representatives

Liaison officers provide a direct route of communication with each dental school and represent their interests. In this way, ADSA may readily impart information of its events and endeavours to students.
