Parent/Guardian details

I am a mature minor student and do not wish to nominate a parent/guardian

(Secondary school students only)

In Victoria, the law recognises that as children become older and more mature, they are more capable of making their own decisions, including seeking and obtaining their own health care. To be considered a mature minor, the Smile Squad clinician must be satisfied that the student has sufficient understanding of the risks, benefits, and possible complications of their condition and proposed treatment to give informed consent.
