Free Dental Day

Held at AUT South Campus, Manukau, 07 September 2025

On 07 September 2025, Village Collective proudly partnered with AUT Niho Ora ki Manukau (Oral Health Clinic) and Dental For All to host Free Dental Day at AUT South Campus, Manukau. The event offered no-cost dental cleanings and basic oral care to members of the community, removing barriers to essential health services and promoting confidence in wellbeing. 

While attendees wait for their dental appointments, our Village Collective clinicians were on-site providing free health checks and wellbeing advice - supporting participants to take a holistic approach to their health. From blood pressure monitoring to conversations around mental and physical wellbeing, our team helped ensure that everyone left the event feeling cared for, informed, and empowered.

This event reflected our shared vision for a healthier Aotearoa - where oral care, physical health, and community wellbeing go hand in hand. By joining forces with AUT and Dental For All, a movement advocating for accessible dental care across the country, Village Collective helped bring practical and compassionate support to South Auckland families. 

Free Dental Day was more than a clinic - it was a reminder that when we remove barriers and create accessible pathways, we strengthen the hauora of our entire community.
