Abstract
In Australia eligible people are able to seek subsidised dental care through a network of government dental clinics. The demand for subsidised dental care exceeds the capacity of the public dental system to provide non-emergency dental services, resulting in long waiting lists. Thus, inequality in oral health has a strong socioeconomic dimension, with people reliant on public dental care being less likely to benefit from early detection and preventive dental services. This research provides a detailed analysis of the public dental waiting list, distribution of the eligible population, and offers recommendations on making the system more effective and sustainable.
