Labor plans to expand its commitment to free dental clinics if successful in the Victorian state election. Ben Carroll announced the plan to deliver 20 free dental clinics, doubling the previous commitment of 10. These clinics will cost taxpayers $230 million and are scheduled to open from July 2027, treating an estimated 200,000 Victorians annually. The regional locations include Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Latrobe, Mildura, and Shepparton.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The plan represents a $230 million public funding commitment to healthcare infrastructure in Victoria. The expansion of clinics in regional centers could drive local demand and construction activity. This policy commitment also increases competitive pressure on the Liberal Party's platform.
