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

Our advocacy initiatives focus on the following priority populations:

  • Those who cannot access mainstream services, including asylum seekers, refugees, homeless people and people with chronic and complex health conditions
  • Children
  • The elderly
  • Indigenous communities
