Watagan Healthcare brings dental and therapy services directly to aged care facilities, supported living, and schools across the region. We come to the people who need care most.
Our fully equipped mobile dental team visits aged care homes, supported living facilities, and schools across Lake Macquarie, Central Coast, and Newcastle. No transport needed — we bring everything to your door.

We work with residential aged care managers to build a consistent, scheduled dental program for residents. The same familiar team every visit — which matters when you are working with people who do best with routine.
For people supported through NDIS plans, we coordinate with plan managers and support coordinators to deliver dental care at the facility or at home. HNE Health vouchers, DVA, and health funds all accepted where applicable.
Preventive dental visits to primary schools, including check-ups, oral health education, and early intervention. We coordinate directly with school leadership to fit the school schedule and minimise disruption.
Every facility is different in size, resident need, and staffing. We offer three structured programs so the arrangement fits how your facility actually runs.
When a resident needs dental attention and getting to a clinic isn't practical, your team contacts us and we schedule a visit. A good starting point if you want to see how mobile dental works before committing to a program.
A structured monthly visit seeing around ten residents per day. We manage the dental scheduling in coordination with your care team. Funded through HNE Health vouchers, health funds, DVA, and private pay.
For larger facilities wanting embedded, comprehensive care across the whole resident cohort. Includes oral health screening, staff education, and an ongoing oral health program for all residents.
Music therapy is an evidence-based allied health intervention delivered by a Registered Music Therapists. Sessions are tailored to individual and group needs and are designed to support resident wellbeing, emotional health, and social engagement in aged care and disability settings.
Designed for 8 to 15 residents, group music therapy sessions focus on engagement, social interaction, and enjoyment. A regular group session supports residents who benefit from shared experiences and encourages participation across the floor.
Targeted individual sessions of around 30 minutes per resident, focused on specific clinical goals — emotional regulation, memory stimulation, reduction of agitation, or behavioural support for residents living with dementia.
Monthly summary reports covering resident engagement, mood response, behavioural observations, and social interaction. Recommendations for ongoing support are provided alongside NQIP-aligned outcome measures.
Minimal staff involvement required during sessions. We coordinate with your lifestyle and clinical teams for resident selection and can deliver in common areas, resident rooms, or preferred environments.
Music therapy is where we started. As the Watagan Healthcare group grows, we are adding occupational therapy, speech pathology, and further allied health services to the mobile team.
We keep setup as simple as possible for your team. A single conversation is usually enough to understand what your facility needs and whether we are the right fit for each other.
Complete the form below or call us. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your facility and what level of care you are looking for.
We come out to meet your team, confirm the logistics, and understand the specific needs of your residents. No obligation at this stage.
We agree on a program and set the visiting calendar. Your care team receives a simple guide so there are no surprises on visiting days.
We manage scheduling and clinical documentation. Your team focuses on what they do best — we take care of the healthcare side.
Our mobile services currently operate across the Lake Macquarie and lower Hunter region, with a growing schedule of facilities. We are adding new locations as the team expands.
If your facility is outside these areas, get in touch anyway. We may be able to accommodate additional locations as the schedule grows, and it costs nothing to have that conversation.
A private room or space large enough for a dental chair and equipment, with access to power. A spare bedroom, consultation room, or large bathroom typically works well. We bring everything else — chair, lighting, suction, and sterilised instruments.
Most residents are covered through a combination of Medicare, private health insurance, DVA entitlements, and Hunter New England Health vouchers. For NDIS-supported residents, dental care may be covered through their plan. Our team helps coordinate billing arrangements individually.
Check-ups, scale and cleans, fillings, extractions, and denture work. Procedures that require our fixed clinic setting will be coordinated through an appropriate referral, with the process made as smooth as possible for the resident.
Our mobile dental team includes an oral therapist and dental assistant per visit. Where possible, the same team is rostered to your facility across visits — continuity matters for residents who do better with familiar faces. Clinical oversight remains with our principal dentist.
We have experience working with residents who need additional time, communication adjustments, or a modified approach. We ask that your care team brief us on any residents with specific needs before the visit so we can plan accordingly.
Music therapy sessions are designed to integrate seamlessly alongside existing care plans. Our Registered Music Therapist coordinates with your lifestyle and clinical teams for resident selection and reports outcomes aligned with NQIP indicators.
