Australians superannuation savings were $60 million worse off last financial year to pay for dental services, as revealed in the Australian today.

The Australian Tax Office approves early access to super in limited circumstances and paid out nearly $400 million last financial year to fund private health care.

With dental payouts reported to be 15 per cent of the total health superannuation payouts, its obvious that the Liberals need to address the crisis and properly fund our public health services and hospitals.

According to the Grattan Institute, two million adults who needed dental care in the past year either didnt get it or delayed getting it because of the cost and are significantly less likely to visit the dentist each year than people in Canada or the UK.

Yet the Morrison Government is planning to cut all Commonwealth funding for adult public dental services in June 2020 when the agreement expires.

Australians should not be forced to draw down on super or other savings to access essential health care because this Government wants to cut services from the most vulnerable.

Under this Liberal Government costs have never been higher and waiting times have never been longer for health services in Australia.
