I am very concerned by the State Government’s decision to significantly reduce the operating hours of the SA Dental Linden Park Clinic from four days per week to just one.
I have spoken with many local families who will be directly impacted by the partial closure of this important and well-utilised community service. The reduction from operating Monday to Thursday to just one day a week represents a substantial loss of access, particularly for families with young children who rely on the clinic for routine care and timely treatment of dental emergencies.
I have taken urgent action by raising these concerns directly with the Minister for Health and calling on him to reverse this decision.

In the meantime, I have launched a petition to save the Linden Park Dental Clinic. You can sign the petition below. You are also welcome to contact my office to share your views by emailing bragg@parliament.sa.gov.au or calling 8332 4799.
Thank you for your support in helping to retain this vital community resource.
