Generally yes.
If you are on centerlink benefits (welfare) then you can receive free dental care, however the waiting list is usually 2-6 months. So even if you are on benefits most people pay for dentists because they can't wait that long.
As for medicare (government funded healthcare all Australians get) you need to have a doctors referral, a chronic condition approved by the government (there is a list) and use a government approved dentist. And you can only have a max of three sessions a year.
Most people don't bother - unless they really can't afford it.

Do you have to pay for dental treatment over 60?
Whether you have to pay for dental treatment after the age of 60 depends on your location and the specific healthcare system in place. In some countries, seniors may have access to reduced fees or free dental care through national health services or specific programs. In the U.S., for example, Medicare does not typically cover dental care, so individuals often need private insurance or out-of-pocket payments. It's best to check with local health services or insurance providers for specific details.
