Under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, eligible children aged 0–17 can access up to $1,158 in government-funded dental care over two years, with no out-of-pocket cost when we bulk bill.
We check your child's eligibility and handle the claim directly with Medicare, so there's nothing for you to chase up.
Eligible services are bulk-billed directly to Medicare — nothing for you to pay.
Check-ups, x-rays, cleans, fillings, root canals and more are included.
We confirm your child's CDBS status before any treatment begins.
We check your child's CDBS eligibility using their Medicare details.
A full exam identifies any treatment your child needs.
We provide the required care, bulk-billed under CDBS where eligible.
We submit the claim directly to Medicare on your behalf.
Children aged 0–17 are eligible if they're covered by Medicare and their family receives an eligible payment, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A.
Eligible children can access up to $1,158 in benefits over two consecutive calendar years (2026 rate).
Orthodontic treatment, cosmetic work and hospital-based dental care aren't included — we'll let you know upfront if a recommended treatment falls outside CDBS.
