DHSV manages and operates the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne and purchases services from around 55 agencies that operate approximately 85 community dental clinics across the state under the Community Oral Health Programme.

Services are available to all Victorians who hold a concession card as well as their dependents. Non card holder children are also eligible up to 12 years of age through the Early Childhood Oral Health Program and School Dental Service.
