The Dental Health Program Data Set (DHPDS) is used primarily to fund, monitor and plan dental services to eligible clients. The DHPDS Submission Guidelines provide a common set of concepts, data elements and edit/validation rules which define the basis of data collection and reporting requirements to the Community and Dental Health Programs.
Data collection and reporting requirements for Victoria’s Dental health program are outlined in the Dental Health Program Data Set manuals:
Dental Health Program Data Set (DHPDS) Submission Guidelines (Version 4.4)

Dental Health Program Data Set Manual - Large value domains (Version 4)
(opens in a new window)
The DHPDS manual is intended for:
- Department of Health staff (data collection custodians and program managers) responsible for the development and management of data collections and associated documentation
- Oral Health Victoria (OHV)
- software vendors that develop and provide software solutions for the collection, storage and reporting of data
- funded organisations that deliver public dental services.
