ARC Discovery Project

This project aims to examine the early effects of two recent initiatives by the Australia government to improve children's dental health - through funding to cover essential dental services for children from disadvantaged families.

Emeritus Professor Stephen Birch is leading a three-year project to develop new models to plan future healthcare system capacity, based on the changing health profile and size of the Australian population. This includes planning the size and composition of the future health workforce to meet future needs.
