Most Australians say they face barriers accessing dental care, survey finds

Three-quarters of the 25,000 Australians surveyed in the Australian Dental Association's 2025 consumer survey said they faced barriers to accessing dental care, which could be forcing them to delay or avoid it.

It was a long, emotional day, which resulted in a decision by all attendees to put family and Ngurra [Country] first.

The decision represents the strong connection between Yindjibarndi People and our Ngurra, and what we hold as the key value of our community - that is, a successful future for the next generations.
