Generally yes.
If you are on centerlink benefits (welfare) then you can receive free dental care, however the waiting list is usually 2-6 months. So even if you are on benefits most people pay for dentists because they can't wait that long.
As for medicare (government funded healthcare all Australians get) you need to have a doctors referral, a chronic condition approved by the government (there is a list) and use a government approved dentist. And you can only have a max of three sessions a year.
Most people don't bother - unless they really can't afford it.
