Screenings and smiles at the zoo
We had an action-packed day at the Werribee Open Range Zoo recently, providing free oral health screenings and activities for kids.
What an amazing day at Werribee Open Range Zoo in early December!
Nearly 50 children received an oral health screening and even more took home our free oral health packs.
Our Population Health Team kept families engaged with fun activities like designing personalised water bottles, learning tooth brushing techniques, and sparking their imagination by crafting vibrant fruit and vegetable rainbows.
The excitement didn’t stop there – the Zoo Hippo Talk reminded us all that, just like the amazing hippos, we need to eat well, drink well, and clean well for healthy smiles.
A big shoutout to IPC Health for their incredible support and a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful partners at Zoos Victoria for helping us create such a fantastic day for families!
