Mouthguards

Revised Department of Education guidelines for contact sports specify students are required to wear a mouthguard when participating in Australian football, hockey, rugby league, rugby union, water ​polo and handball (European/team).

Students must wear a mouthguard when participating in Australian football. The department strongly recommends that students wear custom-fitted mouthguards. Information about the different types of mouthguards can be found at Sport Medicine Australia—dental injuries (PDF, 307KB) and the Australian Dental Association.
