Want to use your expertise to make a real impact?
St Pat’s relies on professional volunteers to deliver free allied health services and dental care to people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
Each year, we provide about 800 dental treatments and more than 2,000 health appointments to the most vulnerable people in our community.
St Pat’s Oral Health Clinic
“It is not just about teeth. It’s about mental health, confidence, self-esteem, and hope.”
St Pat’s Client
Established in 2016, our pro-bono Oral Health Clinic was the first of its kind in WA, offering free dental services to people experiencing homelessness.
Staffed by professional dental nurses, our Oral Health Clinic contains a digital X-ray, an OPG machine, Adec chair and a separate sterilisation area, providing the best working environment where you can play a critical role in addressing people’s immediate needs.
We understand that volunteering demands a significant commitment of time and energy, and we deeply appreciate the generosity of every dentist who volunteers with us, as do our clients.
