Public health patients

The Queensland Government funds a subset of our community to receive no out-of-pocket dental treatment via the Public Health System. 

The Metro South Oral Health Services: 

  • treats patients within their own public clinics
  • provides ‘treatment vouchers’ to eligible patients, allowing them to attend participating private dental practices for immediate dental needs. 

Richmond Road Dental honours these dental vouchers and welcomes voucher holders to visit our practice for treatment. 

As of May 2025, eligible patients can either receive: 

  • a $260 voucher for emergency dental treatment
  • a $750 voucher for preventative and general dental services. 

To be eligible for these vouchers, you must hold a Medicare card and one of the following:

  • Pensioner Concession Card.
  • Health Care Card.
  • Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.
  • Queensland Seniors Card.

Please go to Metro South Health or call 1300 300 850 for more information.
