Released today, Infrastructure Victoria's report, ‘Investing in Community Health Infrastructure’ found that despite providing services to 1 in 10 Victorians, registered community health organisations receive just 0.3 per cent of the Victorian Government’s $2 billion annual health infrastructure budget.

Without increased support from the health infrastructure budget, community health will not be able to respond to population growth, and more Victorians will miss out on much-needed health care.

It’s time to put Community Health First—because every Victorian deserves access to quality care, close to home.

Did you know that all children 0-12 years of age can access our dental service? If you hold a health care card, are eligible for the Child Dental Benefit Schedule, or if your child attends a government school, the service is free. It is low cost for all other children.

When it comes to visiting the dentist, don’t wait for a problem. Your child should have regular dental checkups as advised by their dental professional.

For healthy teeth, enjoy a wide variety of fruits and vegetables every day. A great way to increase vegetable intake is to offer veggie sticks as a colourful and crunchy snack! Some other great snack options are dairy products like cheese and plain yoghurt. These foods are good for keeping your teeth and bones strong.

Provide children with opportunities to try and explore a variety of fresh foods. You can make food fun too! Try making a face out of vegetables, a flower out of sliced banana, or pretending florets of broccoli are little trees.

Tap water is the best drink for everyone. In most parts of Victoria, tap water contains fluoride, which helps keep teeth strong and helps to protect them against tooth decay. Plain milk is also a great option and contains important nutrients like calcium and phosphorus, which help maintain strong teeth and bones. Water also keeps children hydrated and helps fuel their minds and bodies, so they can learn and play.
