Default Dental Branch RAAF

I inherited these from my late Mother in Law who served in the WAAAF 1942-44. Worn by the Dental Branch of the WAAAF (and RAAF I assume). The wingspan is 1 inch, no maker's marks visible but high quality.
My question is - where on uniform would they have been worn?

Hi mike
Think these were collar badges. Officers would have worn the standard bullion and gilt eagle cap badge and ORs the standard RAAF badge.
This also applied to other units of the RAAF such as education, meteorology etc.
Nice set, not easy to find

WAAAF ranks also wore an embroidered cap badge on their service caps.
