Community Service Award
The University of Sydney Poche Centre for Indigenous Health's Healthy Teeth Strategy
It addressed an oral health problem in Aboriginal communities in central and north NSW. In 15 months, more than 10,000 dental services have been provided. University students and graduates work in the program. Part of the strategy is to involve local communities, who want to be part of resolving the problem. 
"This is a stunning example of innovative, practical and effective community engagement," the judges said.
The program involves two Aboriginal Health Services, two Local Health Districts, five community health services, 18 schools and six preschools.
Specialist dental services have been provided with help from the universities of Sydney, Melbourne and Western Australia. It offers a pathway for Aboriginal people to be trained. Fourteen have been employed after completing qualifications. Two have started a diploma of dental technology. A further 20 are studying and more than 30 are on the 2016 intake waiting list.
The University of Sydney Poche Centre was funded by Greg Poche (the founder of StarTrack Express) and his wife, Kay van Norton Poche. They have given more than $50 million to Indigenous health in the past seven years.
