This collection of Australian Journal of Primary Health papers focuses on access to care. The papers showcase a variety of topics across the lifespan, including oral health care for First Nations children, preventive health care for people experiencing severe mental illness, and the sensory health of people with dementia. They illustrate new approaches to working with allied health clinicians, policy change to improve access to oral health and workforce capability, and a theory-informed approach to data analysis. This collection has documented current experiences of access to care among different populations and highlighted new approaches and models to improve access.
