KPI 23: Proportion of non-oral health vocational education and training sector enrolments successfully completing oral health units of competency

A key strategy of the National Oral Health Plan 2015–2024 is to increase the oral health competency of the broader health workforce by including oral health units in vocational education sector training courses.

The proportion of non-oral health vocational education and training (VET) sector enrolments successfully completing oral health units of competency in 2018 was 0.6%. The proportion of non-oral health VET sector enrolments successfully completing oral health units of competency has remained under 1.0% since 2015.
