Supporting dentistry in Central Queensland

Rockhampton Sub Branch of the Australian Dental Association Queensland (ADAQ) represents local members of the state body, committed to professional and quality delivery of Dentistry. Our Sub Branch specifically represents those members who practice in the Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Mt Morgan and surrounding townships but obviously participate with the broader dental community as a united Association.

Our ADA Sub Branch is a not-for-profit organisation with a membership requirement that local practicing & retired dentists and dental specialists (private or public practice) be financial members of both the Federal and State (Qld) Australian Dental Association.

The ADAQ does not represent the interests of Dental/ Oral Therapists, Dental Hygienists, Dental Technicians or Dental Prosthetists as they independently have their own support bodies.

What we stand for

Quality, ethical dental care

We take quality dental care in Australia, particularly Queensland, for granted but that standard we expect has only been achieved and maintained through decades of dedication from the ADA both at a local, state and national level. To find out more about the ADA, its role as a national body and professional charter please visit www.ada.org.au

Continuing local education

We recognise the critical requirement to stay abreast of advances for dental and general health care and the many quality conferences offered throughout Queensland and Australia. To expose members to respected researchers and clinical experts in the field we provide conferences locally but recognise our local courses compliment those offered by the ADA and other highly regarded organisations.

Addressing local dental issues

Dental issues are often unique to an area, these might include workforce, water fluoridation, dental care for the elderly or ethical conduct. We have members actively participating in local planning groups investigating and improving these areas for current and future generations.

Supporting the local community

As a collective professional body, our Sub Branch support the local community through financial and other donations. While we're active in following dental issues, we recognise the importance of supporting local community-based groups that may be less fortunate than others.
