Our History

The Australian Dental Association SA Branch Inc was formed in 1927 by an amalgamation of the Odontological Society and the Registered Dentists’ Society.  Its members comprised of ethical dentists who felt the need for united professional activity.  Today the Association is widely known and represented.  Its membership represents dentists in private practice, Universities, Armed Forces, Government Service, Public Hospitals - indeed, wherever dentists practice.

The affairs of the South Australian Branch are conducted by a Council of 15 members elected annually.  The work of Council is aided by various committees whose reports are presented to Council.  Administration of Branch affairs is conducted by a salaried Executive Officer and staff.

The ADA is the only body devoted to your interests throughout your entire professional career.  By belonging, we ensure that the conditions under which we practice dentistry are those which we would want both for the profession, as a whole, ourselves individually and the public.
