Grattan Institute releases proposal for universal dental care scheme
Less than a week after the Australian Greens unveiled a proposed Medicare-funded dental care program, the Grattan Institute has released its proposal for a universal dental care scheme. The scheme, which would be graduated in its approach due to the costs involved, would initially target all children (and their parents) who are eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) and all Health Care Card and Pensioner Care Card holders, amounting to about 9.7 million people in total.
