Maps of water fluoridation in Australia and Victoria
The first water fluoridation program in Australia was implemented in 1953
in Beaconsfield, Tasmania. Now more than two-thirds of the Australian population
receive fluoridated drinking water, including residents of all capital cities
except Brisbane.
Within Victoria more than three-quarters of the population receive fluoridated
drinking water, with most of these people living in metropolitan Melbourne
and Bendigo, Shepparton, Echuca, Horsham, Sale, Traralgon, Morwell, Moe and
Warragul. People in Wangaratta and Wodonga will have access to fluoridated
drinking water supplies in 2007.
Figures 1 and 2 show the timing of introduction of water fluoridation to
cities and towns in Australia and Victoria.
