The Health Services Union (HSU) is calling on the Federal Government for coverage of dental care for children and also those over 65 under Medicare.
The HSU commissioned a survey of 1,200 Australians they found the majority believe people must be able to claim rebates on dental bills.
Public dental services are taken care by state governments, but HSU national secretary Craig Thomson says people are waiting up to five years for treatment.
Mr. Thomson says five-year waiting lists on the public state-run plan are unacceptable and even it is time the Commonwealth created a national scheme.
