About us
The CranioDental Academy (CDA) of Australasia was established in 2018 with a mission to educate health professionals within the dental, osteopathic, medical and related professions. We emphasize the importance and significance of how dentistry, osteopathy and allied health therapies (such as speech pathology and physiotherapy) integrate with one another to positively influence patient health outcomes.
The CDA endeavours to assist, guide and to support your education and further your knowledge in the field of craniodental assessment and treatment. This is achieved by setting the necessary anatomico-physiological foundations.
This knowledge provides you with the tools to serve your profession and patients better. Your new knowledge and practical skills in post graduate training will give you the tools you need to implement and advance your quality of care.
We are here to make a difference, share our knowledge and our experiences.

Dr Nader Malik
Director: Happy Teeth Pty Ltd and Craniodental Academy of Australasia
Dr Nader Malik graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Sydney in 1997.
Over the past 20 years he has come to recognise the strong links that exist between the mouth and the rest of the body. As an integrative dentist, his core treatment philosophy is to make a visible difference to the lives of his patients so that they can be inspired to laugh, smile and share the same experience with others.
His focus remains on understanding and treating the strong links between the teeth and the rest of the body.
Over the past 10 years, Dr. Malik has worked closely with osteopaths, physiotherapists and allied health professionals in the co-treatment of patients suffering with medical problems that have a dental component. He also enjoys working with medical doctors to ensure the best outcomes for his patients.
