Dental health for adults and school aged children
Dental Health Services Victoria provides emergency and general dental care for adult concession cardholders through public dental clinics in community health centres, rural hospitals and the Royal Dental Hospital Melbourne. Free dental treatment for all primary and some secondary school aged children of a concession cardholder and all other primary school students may access the service, but a fee is payable if the parent is not a concession cardholder.
Waiting lists apply for general dental care. Emergency relief of pain is generally available within 24 hours. A $23.00 co-payment is payable at each visit, up to a maximum of $92.00, for general dental care. More advanced dental treatments may be provided but fees above the $92.00 maximum will apply. A $23.00 co-payment is also required for an emergency dental visit.
