Smile Squad
Anthony CIANFLONE (Pascoe Vale) (09:55): On 24 February I also had the pleasure to visit our free dental health service for students, the Smile Squad, at Coburg West Primary School. Delivered locally by Merri Community Health, Smile Squad has so far provided free dental treatment across Merri-bek through 15 schools – 10 primary schools, three secondary schools and two specialist schools – and 7000 overall chair visits. I want to commend Melanie van Altena, the director of the program, Emily Blazevski, Jonathan Teoh and Mark Collagrande and the school captains.
