The project is using intra-oral cameras and existing tele-health technology to link the Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service on Thursday Island with primary health personnel in indigenous communities of the Torres Cape, who will be able to seek real-time advice about oral health risk assessments, screening and referrals. Remote personnel will also be supported through ongoing mentoring and training to deliver oral health promotion and oral health disease prevention programs.
