Mobile Dental Clinics Australia

What Mobile Dental Clinics Australia does

Mobile Dental Clinics Australia (MDCA) is an Australian mobile dental services provider founded in 2015 and headquartered in Heatherton, Victoria. The company deploys portable, hospital-grade dental equipment—meeting or exceeding AHPRA and Australian dental standards—to deliver bedside and onsite care across aged care facilities, retirement villages, private homes, and corporate workplaces. Its clinical scope spans emergency dental care, general dentistry (examinations, X-rays, scale and cleans, fillings, extractions), complete and partial dentures with in-house prosthetics support, and specialised care for patients with dementia, cognitive impairment, or complex medical needs. NDIS participants and DVA Gold Card holders (for general dental services) form part of the patient base.

MDCA monetises on a fee-for-service transaction basis across multiple customer segments. Aged care and retirement village residents—including those at mecwacare, Regis Aged Care, and Royal Freemasons facilities—represent the core revenue base, with callout fees waived at facilities treating 8+ patients or for follow-up visits. Home-visit services are bundled so a single call-out covers multiple family members. Corporate workplace programs generate a distinct revenue stream through onsite employee oral health packages. The company also operates a franchise model licensing qualified dental professionals and business operators to run mobile practices in assigned Australian territories.

Operationally MDCA is a privately held, family-owned business with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, expanded nationally across every state and territory, and supported by a leadership team including Director Glenn Wainrib (who assumed the role in 2020 following founder Caitlin Wainrib's passing), General Manager Luke Givney, and Special Advisors Jack Gance and Evelynne Gance (co-founders associated with Chemist Warehouse). The stated customer base spans enterprise aged care operators, individual home-bound patients, employer wellbeing programs, NDIS participants, and DVA holders, with primary growth channels combining direct enterprise field sales and franchise expansion.
