DHSV Clients
Our services are available to all Victorians who hold a pensioner concession card or health care card, and their dependants.
Treatment for concession cardholders under the age of 18 is fully publicly funded. Treatment for those over 18 is subsidised.
All primary school children and concession card dependants in years seven to 12 are eligible to receive treatment through our School Dental Service and the Youth Dental Program. Co-payments apply for children whose parents are not concession cardholders.
CBCHS’s dental service receives regular updates from DHSV in relation to the newest treatment and trends for dental services. DHSV provide guidelines for treatment on a regular basis as well as providing training opportunities for dental staff.
