Using Your NSW Public Dental Voucher at Elevate Dental Wagga Wagga

At Elevate Dental Wagga Wagga, we proudly accept NSW public dental vouchers issued through the NSW Oral Health Fee For Service Scheme (OHFFSS). This program allows eligible Wagga Wagga and Riverina residents to access timely dental care from approved private dentists, without needing to wait long periods in the public system.

Our dentists are registered with the Scheme, meaning we can process your dental voucher and complete the treatment prescribed by the Wagga Wagga Base Hospital Oral Health Clinic or any participating public dental clinic in NSW.

If you’ve been issued a voucher and are looking for a dentist in Wagga Wagga who accepts dental vouchers, we are here to help.

What Is the NSW Oral Health Fee For Service Scheme (OHFFSS)?

The OHFFSS is a NSW Health initiative designed to improve access to dental care for:

• Concession card holders

• Eligible adults and dependents

• Patients assessed through public dental clinics

Under this scheme, eligible patients can receive certain dental treatments from registered private dentists including our team here in Wagga Wagga.

Dental vouchers may cover:

• Emergency dental care

• General dental treatment

• Fillings

• Simple extractions

• Dentures

Please note: The voucher does not cover root canal treatment, dental implants, bridges, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics or any treatment outside what is normally provided in public dental clinics.

How Dental Vouchers Work in Wagga Wagga

Before you receive a voucher, you will be assessed at a public dental clinic such as:

• Wagga Wagga Base Hospital Oral Health Clinic

• Riverina Oral Health Services

• Any NSW public dental service

A public dental clinician will examine your teeth, take X-rays if required, and create a treatment plan. Based on this, they will determine whether you are eligible for a voucher and how much funding will be allocated.

Once issued, the voucher authorises a private dentist, such as Elevate Dental Wagga Wagga, to perform the treatment listed on that plan. Any changes or additional treatment must be approved by the public dental clinic.

What You Need to Do After Receiving Your Voucher

If you’ve received an Oral Health Treatment Authority Voucher, follow these steps:

1. Book Your Appointment Within 10 Days

Contact Elevate Dental Wagga Wagga as soon as possible—preferably within 10 days of the issue date printed on your voucher.

2. Tell Us You Are Using an OHFFSS Dental Voucher

Let our reception team know you were referred from a public dental clinic and will be treated under the NSW Oral Health Fee For Service Scheme.

3. Bring the Required Documents

Please bring:

• Your Oral Health Treatment Authority Voucher

• Proof of identity

• Proof of eligibility (e.g., concession card)

4. Sign Off on Treatment Completion

After your voucher-covered treatment is completed, you will be required to sign the voucher to confirm that the treatment was carried out.

5. Discuss Any Extra Treatment (If Needed)

If you wish to receive additional dental care not covered by the voucher, our dentists will provide options and fees before starting any non-voucher treatment.
