Key Policy Statements
Optimising oral health should begin before the first tooth erupts and continue throughout life. Vulnerable
individuals and those who live in remote locations should be supported by government funding to ensure they
receive equitable access to dental care including treatment under general anaesthetic (GA).
Defined policy is essential for the good governance of the ADA and should be current and relevant and couched in clear and simple language that will ensure better understanding of policy by members and the community.
Everyone has an obligation to act in accordance with the law and their professional and ethical obligations with regard to equal opportunity.
