Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Opening of Dental HospitalPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the opening of the Dental Hospital and College in July 1941.
The new dental hospital, erected at a cost of £105,000 was opened yesterday by the Minister for Health (Mr Hanlon). In declaring the building open, Mr. Hanlon said it was a gift of the Government to the people of Queensland. The dental policy of the State was that no teeth should be extracted if they could be saved. and that extracted teeth should be replaced. Every patient who went to the hospital would leave with a fully restored mouth.
