DHAA Inc. Position Paper: DVA preventive services
All members of the DHAA Inc. who are registered Dental Hygienists, Oral Health Therapists registered as Hygienists are covered via our agreement with Medicare and DVA to resume and provide preventive hygiene services to Department of Veterans Affairs patients.
DHAA Inc. has achieved in record time (less than 48 hours) a resumption of services. We have also enhanced our good working relationship with
Medicare for the future.
The next step is amendment of legislation which will be dealt with by the DHAA Inc. National Executive in consultation with ADA with the relevant Federal Government Departments and allied dental associations. The legislative amendment will cover the entire demographic of registered oral health practitioners and may take up to six months.

Urgent Advice: Cease All Communications Re: CDDS/EPC/DVA
Dear All,
Thank you for all your fantastic efforts in assisting with lobbying with the current CDDS/EPA/DVA services situation affecting DHAA Inc members and their patients.
We have reached a critical and highly sensitive stage of negotiations.
It is absolutely imperative for our cause that all letters to DVA, any local members, Ministers or anyone at all MUST CEASE IMMEDIATELY until further notice.
Please ensure that you thank anyone who has been assisting us to date including all the wonderful patients for their wonderful support. However, it is currently very important that all communications from anyone in relation to this issue cease immediately, so our good work is not undone.
If possible, please contact anyone who intends to send a letter and advise them not to send it at this time until further notice is given.
A progress update will be provided as soon as we are able to.
Best wishes to all,
Katrina Murphy
