Dr Sandra Meihubers first encountered Australia's remoteness while working in Aboriginal communities as a final year dental student. These experiences seeded a passion that grew into a career long commitment to delivering dental care to communities considered outside of the "mainstream". She has been instrumental in establishing and running remote area dental services in traditional Aboriginal communities, training Aboriginal Health Workers in dental care and prevention, advising governments on policy, developing materials to support remote area dental practitioners, and developing national and international networks of like minded practitioners. In the past 15 years her skills and experiences, with a strong focus on projects developed and grounded in the target communities, have spread to projects in Nepal, Timor L'este and, more recently, in Bangladesh. In Nepal the dental work has been married to a village based sanitation program, this "teeth and toilets" focus affording opportunities to address basic hygiene issues as well as providing the value added benefit of dental care.

Sandra has received recognition for her work from international dental honour societies, the University of Sydney Alumni Association, and national Rotary groups.
