FREE Children’s Dental
Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) provides eligible families with free children’s dental care up to $1,158 per child every two calendar years. At Dental on Beams, we bulk bill dental treatment for all eligible children under this schedule.
A child’s eligibility is assessed at the beginning of each year and lasts the whole calendar year. A child is eligible if they are aged 2-17 years for at least 1 day of the calendar year, are eligible for Medicare and are either part of a family receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A or one of the following Australian Government payments:
- Youth Allowance
- ABSTUDY
- Disability Support Person
- Parenting Payment
- Special Benefit
- Carer Payment
- Double Orphan Pension
- Veteran’s Children Education Scheme, if the child is 16 or over
- Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act Education and Training Scheme, if the child is 16 or over
If your family is eligible, please bring your Medicare card and proof of eligibility to your appointment.
