About the Oral Health Issues Advocacy Kit and the NSW Oral Health Alliance Issues in Oral Health for Low Income and Disadvantaged Groups in NSW: An Advocacy Kit for Community and Welfare Non-Government Organisations has been developed by the NSW Oral Health Alliance for community and welfare organisations in NSW. The Advocacy Kit contains facts about 11 disadvantaged groups most at risk of poor oral health, supported by a number of case studies. It outlines the key issues with dental services in NSW, along with the Alliance’s recommendations to improve equity in oral health, and suggestions about how organisations can take action to raise awareness of oral health issues and put pressure on our politicians to make teeth matter! The NSW Oral Health Alliance is a group of non-government organisations concerned with improving access to dental service for low income and disadvantaged people in NSW. It is convened by the Council of Social Service of NSW (NCOSS). Spokesperson & Media Contacts:
