A new name. A renewed commitment
We have a new name that better reflects the breadth of our work and impact. We also have a new look. It’s modern. It’s fresh. And it will help us build a brighter future for all Victorians.
We are very excited to share that Dental Health Services Victoria has officially become Oral Health Victoria.
While the change might seem sudden, the work behind this started in 2022. We received extensive feedback from our staff, partners and the community.
The DHSV name and logo have served us well since 1996 but Oral Health Victoria better reflects who we are today and the future we’re shaping together.
Why the change?
Over the years, DHSV has grown beyond service delivery – leading prevention and population health programs, shaping policy and research, and partnering with communities and organisations across Victoria.
The new name captures this broader role, better reflects our multidisciplinary workforce, and connects better with the Victorian community.
What’s changing?
Oral Health Victoria (OHV) will have a new look that was developed back in 2023 including a new logo and fresh colours.
Managing the transition
This is a major change and won’t all happen at once as this is being done as business-as-usual activity. You’ll see high-visibility areas like the website and social media change first, while more complex back-end functions will occur progressively.
This is an exciting step forward and we are looking forward to making a positive impact as Oral Health Victoria.
