Australian Dental Association is the “peak” body for dentists in Australia. It is a voluntary member organisation with branches in every state and territory in Australia. The Association exists to support members by enhancing their ability to provide safe, high quality professional oral health care; to encourage the improvement of oral and general health of the Australian public, and to promote the ethics, art and science of dentistry. The Association adopted a constitution in 1928 which empowered elected members to govern the organisation. This newer tie shows the logo the association and stylised outline of Australia.
