ADAVB pre-budget submission urges government to help those in greatest need

The ADAVB has urged the Victorian Government to frame a 2017-2018 Victorian State Budget that promotes the oral health of Victorians, especially those in greatest need. 

The pre-budget submission emphasises that the most disadvantaged and vulnerable are at greatest risk of poor oral health and that the sustainability of the Victorian public dental sector is paramount to ensure the community receives the care it needs.

The ADAVB Pre-Budget Submission highlights four key areas of need:

1. Increase public dental funding to provide timely care to more Victorians in need.
2. Support access to dental care for people in rural and remote communities.
3. Continue to focus on preventive care.
4. Support a strong and sustainable public dental workforce.

The ADAVB submission, including detailed information on each of these priority areas is available on our Advocacy>Submissions webpage.
