Child Dental Benefits Schedule

We support the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) and we bulk bill all eligible children.

The Government-funded Child Dental Benefits Schedule is now available for families with children aged 2-17. Families must receive Government Benefits. The CDBS has a means test, which requires receipt of Family Tax Benefit Part A or a relevant Australian Government payment. If children are eligible, they receive up to $1095 over two calendar years for preventative and restorative dentistry.

Eligible services include:

• Examinations
• X-rays
• Cleaning
• Fissure sealing
• Fillings
• Root canals
• Extractions
• Dentures

Note that the CDBS scheme does not cover cosmetic dental work or orthodontics. To check if you are eligible or check your remaining funds, please contact Medicare or us.
