Unprecedented $4 Billion Dental Care Reform Plan

Under a landmark $4 billion dental health reform package, children and disadvantaged adults will have better access to government-funded dental care. The package provides $2.7 billion in new funding for subsidized dental care for more than 3 million children, and $1.3 billion for dental services for low-income adults and Australians in rural and remote areas, focusing on retired people.
