GPHW2024: A healthy mouth leads to a healthy body. What additional evidence is needed to support the inclusion of ‘essential oral healthcare’ in Medicare?

Theme: Rethinking Public Health Paradigms

Date and Time: 8th April 2024 | 17:00-18:00 (AEST)

Event Description: The 40th anniversary year of Australia’s Medicare public health insurance system provides a critical opportunity for advancing important health reform discussions, especially with the federal election due in 2025. The 2023 Senate Select Committee on Access and Provision of Dental Services in Australia provided important insight into future directions, but there is yet to be any firm commitments by the Australian government on universal access to essential oral healthcare.

As part of #GPHW2024, this webinar will investigate options for including oral healthcare in Medicare and will provide a platform for consumers, under-served communities, and public health experts to share knowledge and explore the ways forward. The webinar will be solutions-focused, including looking at what is working well (or not working well), both globally and locally. Challenges and perspectives will be explored from other jurisdictions about the research and policy agenda to support universal health coverage that includes oral health.
