What the Members say


As a small business operating in South Australia our membership of ADIA is a real game changer. Not only do we get an effective voice in Canberra but the regional trade shows help our business reach so many new clients.
- Rick Brine Managing Director, City Dental Supplies

From the perspective of my business, a real benefit of ADIA membership is the opportunity provided to build a professional network from businesses big and small. It's great that we can set aside commercial interest and work towards our industry's shared goals.
- Ken McInnes Managing Director Pacific, Ivoclar Vivadent

Australian small businesses looking to export are facing immense challenges and ADIA has been there to support us along the way. From understanding the regulatory framework to overseas exhibition opportunities, ADIA membership is a central tool in our business.
- Andrew Stray Managing Director, Dentalife Australia

What's great about my consultancy's membership of ADIA is not only has it allowed us to attract new clients across the dental industry, it has provided me the chance to make a contribution to advocacy efforts that have contributed to cut government red tape, and progress regulatory reform.
- Clare Martin Principal, Clare Martin & Associates

ADX provides a great opportunity for us to reach new members from across Australia in one place. Exhibiting at ADX enables us to meet with principal decision makers [or "buyers" if you prefer] and their teams and find out how we can help them be more successful.  By being present at ADX we can connect with our existing customers to simply say Hi, expose them to a new service or introduce them to our partner suppliers personally.
- Sally Williams, Dental Innovations Network

ADX is a fantastic opportunity for us to meet with our existing and potential purchasers face to face. With everyone in one place, we achieve great brand exposure and receive really valuable feedback about our products from customers. If you want a platform to exchange ideas, talk to buyers and have your biggest sales month of the year, you can't afford not to be there.
