In recognition of oral health practitioners who exemplify commitment to oral health care, ADOHTA is introducing the Oral Health Practitioner Award. We wish to acknowledge our members who are going above and beyond to raise the bar for our profession. We do know that our members are humble and feel no need for any accolades, but it is indeed timely to do this to ensure the value of our profession is recognised by the wider oral health community and health sector
Oral health is fundamental to overall health, wellbeing and quality of life. It is an important part of general health, affecting not only the individual, but also the broader health system and economy. Despite improvements over the last 20-30 years, there is still evidence of poor oral health amongst Australians. Healthy Mouths Healthy Lives: Australia’s National Oral Health Plan (NOHP) 2015 – 2024 has been developed with the goal of improving the health and wellbeing of the Australian population by improving oral health status and reducing the burden of poor oral health.
