What is the VGDS?

On behalf of the Victorian Government, Dental Health Services Victoria (DHSV) purchases dental services from Community Dental Agencies (agencies) for eligible Victorians. Most of these services are provided by public dental providers, with a proportion also provided by private providers.

The VGDS voucher may be offered to patients on public General waiting lists, particularly where community dental agencies do not have the capacity to provide in-house care, or where additional funding is available.
