Our Story

G.I.V.E

The inception of AIDA is a beautiful story that began its journey one evening. indian restaurant in Sydney, where three dentists of Indian origin, with hearts full of passion, came together over a few drinks. As they shared their experiences, they realized there wasa deep. shared need to bring dental professionals of Indian heritage together under one roof a space where learning, growth, and development could flourish, but most importantly, where a sense of camaraderie and belonging could be nurtured.

From this heartfelt conversation came AIDA, a community built on empathy, support, and shared values. The acronym GIVE holds a special place in our hearts, representing Growth, Inspiration, Vision, and Empowerment. It’s a reflection of our deep commitment to support dental professionals, no matter where they are in their journey, whether they’re just beginning or have already established themselves in their careers.

At the core of AIDA is the sincere desire to give back to the community that has given so much to each of us. As professionals of Indian heritage, we carry a profound gratitude for the opportunities we’ve had, and that gratitude drives us to offer our knowledge, skills, and love back to the country and the people we hold dear. This sense of giving, of nurturing the community and profession with care and compassion, is what keeps AIDA grounded and flourishing.

AIDA is not just an organization; it’s a family, where every member’s journey is embraced with understanding and love. We are bound together by the shared values of empathy, kindness, and a deep connection to both our heritage and the Australian soil that we now call home.
