How the OHFFSS Works?
The OHFFSS connects eligible public dental patients with registered private practices like ours. Here's how the process works from voucher issue to your appointment:
1. NSW Health issues your voucher
After triage by your Local Health District oral health service, NSW Health issues a dental voucher specifying the type of treatment authorised, what services are covered, the maximum claim value, and the expiry date. The voucher is yours to redeem with any registered OHFFSS provider.
2. Book your appointment with us
Once you receive your voucher, call our team on (02) 9068 1369 or book online. We'll confirm your details, explain what's covered under your specific voucher type, and schedule a time well before your expiry date.
3. Attend your visit
Bring your OHFFSS voucher, your concession card, your Medicare card, and one form of photo ID to your appointment. We process the voucher directly with NSW Health on your behalf, so you have no out-of-pocket cost up to your voucher's claim limit.
Who Is Eligible for the OHFFSS?
To qualify for subsidised dental care under OHFFSS, NSW Health requires adult patients to meet all four of the following criteria:
-
Residence - You must live within your Local Health District (for our area, that's the South Western Sydney LHD).
-
Medicare - You must be eligible for Medicare and hold a current Medicare card.
-
Age - You must be 18 years or older. (Children under 18 may instead be eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.)
-
Concession card - You must hold one of the following valid Australian Government concession cards:
-
Pensioner Concession Card
-
Health Care Card
-
Commonwealth Seniors Health Card
-
Important: holding only a NSW State Seniors Card does NOT qualify you for OHFFSS. You must also hold one of the three federal concession cards listed above.

What Dental Treatments Are Covered by OHFFSS?

What's typically NOT covered: cosmetic treatments (whitening, veneers), dental implants, orthodontics, and most root canal therapy. If you need these, ask our team about payment plan options.

Urgent Care Voucher: $480.00 or as printed on voucher
-
General Care Voucher: $1060.00 or as printed on voucher
-
Denture Care Voucher: $1850.00 or as printed on voucher
