Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)
Ensure your child’s oral health with the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Our clinic offers bulk-billed dental services for eligible children under Medicare, providing high-quality care at no extra cost to you.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is an Australian government program that provides up to $1,132 benefits. Spanning in two calendar years for eligible children ages 0 to 17: Regular dental check-ups and cleans, X-rays, Fillings, Root canals, and Extractions.
To be eligible for the CDBS, a child must:
- Be 0 to 17 years old for at least one day that calendar year
- Be eligible for Medicare
- To receive a payment from Services Australia at least once a year, or have a parent, carer, or guardian who does.
You can use up to $1,132 in the first calendar year. Any unused funds can carry over to the second year if your child remains eligible. However, once your child is no longer eligible, unused funds cannot be used.
For more details, visit the Services Australia website or call Medicare at 132 011.
