Adults

General dental clinics provide reduced cost (subsidised) general and emergency dental care for individuals aged 17 and over and who hold a current Health Care or Pension Concession Card.

WA residents living in remote locations without access to a private dentist are able to have dental treatment at a public dental clinic. However, if you do not have a Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card you will be required to pay the full fee.
If there is no public dental clinic in town, the Country Patients Dental Subsidy Scheme may allow you to go to a private dentist to receive dental care. For more information on these Scheme, call (08) 9313 0555.

Understanding VGDS

When your local community dental practice can not give you primary care, you may be issued a voucher to visit a private dentist. You’ll be charged the same amount as if you were visiting a community dental clinic. However, the voucher may not cover certain dental services. In this case, you may have treatment at a private clinic, but the cost will be entirely your responsibility.

  • Vouchers are only good for six months after they have been issued.
  • Co-payments are required for each item, up to a maximum of $104.00. This voucher is valued at $770.

(Amounts quoted are valid as of March 2012).
