Practitioner focus for dental services inquiry

The Australian Dental Association and other dental practitioner bodies have appeared at a Canberra roundtable for the Parliamentary inquiry into adult dental services.

At the second public hearing, the House of Representatives Health and Ageing Committee also heard from State and Territory Governments as well as consumer groups. Participants discussed options for the future of the National Partnership Agreement for adult public dental services.

Discussion also included providing services to Indigenous Australians, rural and remote populations and people with special needs, workforce issues, and improving access to those in need.
