Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)

This government initiative helps eligible children aged 2-17 receive up to $1000 in dental services over two years. It covers essential services like checkups, cleans, x-rays, sealants, fillings, and extractions.
 
Your child may be eligible for the CDBS scheme if:
  • They are aged 0 to 17 years for at least 1 day of the calendar year
  • They are eligible for Medicare on the day of service
  • They are part of a family getting certain Australian Government payments
Wondering if your child is eligible? You might receive a letter, or you can check via your Medicare account, the Department of Human Services, or simply give us a call. We can verify eligibility directly.
 
To use the CDBS, contact us for an oral health assessment. We'll ensure your child gets the most out of this beneficial scheme.
