Emergency or general dental care received by attending a Public Dental Clinic, or a Private Dental Clinic that participates in the Government Subsidised Oral Health Care Scheme, attracts a fee for which an account will be issued to the patient (or parent/guardian in the case of minors).
All dental charges are in line with the Department of Veterans' Affairs schedule of dental fees.
Treatment obtained at a Public Dental Clinic, or through a participating Private Dental Clinic, is subsidised by the West Australian Government up to a maximum of 75% of the cost of the treatment. The actual level of dental subsidy that a person is entitled to receive is based upon the eligibility of the person, and is assessed at the dental clinic.
Residents in Remote Locations
In those remote locations where Dental Health Services is the sole health provider, all patients are able to access dental care at the Public Dental Clinic. However, those patients not eligible for subsidised care are required to pay the full fee.
For more information please call 9313 0555 or contact your nearest Public Dental Clinic.
