Unless you are in a private health fund, you are totally on your own for private dental treatment other than emergenies. There is a basic public dental system here in Australia but unless you are prepared to wait hours to get in, live in a capital city or prepared to travel to one and have $20 dollars then forget it. Our public dental clinics treat emergencies only, other wise it is years on a waiting list.
