"A Senate committee has investigated why so many Australians are missing out on
dental care and made 35 recommendations for reform.

By far the most sweeping is the call for universal coverage for essential
dental care. The committee also proposed a suite of measures to get more dental
care to groups who are missing out, including those in rural areas.

The government has three months to respond. It should lay out a plan to
gradually expand coverage, while putting guardrails in place to make sure care
is effective, efficient and equitable."
