DHSV is the lead public oral health agency for Victoria. Our service is strongly committed to providing high quality, safe and accessible oral health care to all eligible Victorians. DHSV provides this care through the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne (RDHM) and by purchasing dental services from more than 50 community health agencies throughout Victoria. We also run statewide oral health promotion programs, invest in oral health research, advise the government on oral health policy and support the education of future oral health professionals.

School Dental Program:

The School Dental Program (Smile Squad) is a Victorian Government election commitment. It provides free annual oral health check-ups and free follow-up treatment for all children (approximately 650,000) attending government primary and secondary schools.

The Requirement

The School Dental Procurement intends to procure approx. 300,000 reusable water bottles per calendar year for the next three (3) years. The reusable water bottles will be free issued to students at their annual dental check-up.
