Our Mission

Bendigo Oral Health and Dentistry Society (BOHDS) is an inherently innovative and unique student-run organisation. With the continued contributions of our generous sponsors, our BOHDS family has grown to amass 800 members in its twelfth year of student representation.

We are dedicated to representing the interests and values of our dental and oral health students, facilitating the growth of its members, and enhancing their experience from the moment they embark on their university journey, to the moment they graduate.

Offering a plethora of events throughout the year, we provide opportunities for our members to network, gain exposure to leading dental companies, develop their clinical knowledge, and have fun! As a result, students establish a robust understanding and awareness of the dental industry and are prepared to make a successful first step into their future careers. More than that, we ensure everyone has fun along the way!
