Advocacy
We concentrate our advocacy efforts on activities that help us realise our vision of achieving better health for all Australians through equity of access to oral health care. Our focus is on the following priorities:
- Inequity of access to dental care
- Affordability
- Prevention
- Chronic underfunding of dental care
