What Is a DVA approved Dentist?
A DVA approved dentist is a registered dental practitioner who accepts Veteran Cards as payment and bills the Department of Veterans’ Affairs directly for eligible services. To provide dental services under DVA arrangements, dentists must be registered with the Dental Board of Australia and comply with DVA fee schedules and provider guidelines.
As a DVA approved dentist in Sydney, Macquarie Dental follows the DVA Fee Schedule of Dental Services and DVA provider notes when treating eligible Veteran Card holders. For most covered treatments, you will not need to make any payment at the time of your appointment.
DVA Card Types and Dental Entitlements
The DVA issues three types of Veteran Cards, each with different healthcare entitlements. The table below summarises what each card covers for dental treatment:

What if a treatment is needed prior to DVA approval?
