Queensland Health dental grant

The Queensland Health dental grant is unique. It allows you to receive a course of free dental treatment without being on public waiting lists or having an impact on your ability to access other grants.

In other words, application for this grant ensures a priority referral to your local oral health clinic for treatment. You may still apply for other grants without any financial impacts on grant funding caps.
