Oral health is an essential part of overall health and wellbeing, yet many Victorians continue to face significant barriers to accessing timely and affordable dental care. To address these challenges, the Victorian Oral Health Alliance (VOHA) has developed its 2025-2026 Pre-Budget Submission, calling on the Victorian Government to prioritise increased funding and targeted initiatives that improve oral health outcomes across the state.
The submission highlights critical issues, including the need for:
- Expanded water fluoridation
- Greater investment in the public oral health workforce
- Enhanced funding for preventative care programs
- Renewed focus on reducing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption
As we approach the next state budget, VOHA’s recommendations offer a roadmap to ensuring all Victorians can access the oral healthcare they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives.
