Stop the Rot: time to fill the gaps in oral health

REPAIR Proposal

What can be done to REPAIR oral health in Australia right away? The National Oral Health Alliance has written to all political parties urging them to adopt the REPAIR proposal as a way to improve investment in better oral health and to emphasise prevention while providing a meaningful response to immediate problems. The REPAIR proposal provides the building blocks for meeting the needs of over 30% of Australians who currently indicate that they go without regular dental care due to cost, unavailability of services and other barriers.

 
Joint Statement

It is vital to improve accessibility so that all Australians have equitable access to oral health care. National community, dental and health organisations have formed the National Oral Health Alliance to seek solutions to the poor access to services and oral health outcomes experienced by many Australians. This statement sets out the commitments the Alliance seeks from all political parties in the federal election for direct and effective action to address the key priorities in dental and oral health.
