The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is an Australian Government program administered through Medicare. It provides eligible children aged 2 to 17 with up to $1,095.60 in dental benefits over a two-year period, covering a range of basic dental services. Many dentists in Brisbane Northside accept the CDBS and bulk bill the full amount to Medicare, meaning no out-of-pocket cost for eligible families.
The CDBS covers a broad range of basic dental services for children including examinations, X-rays, professional cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canal treatments on baby teeth, and extractions. The scheme does not cover orthodontic treatment, cosmetic procedures, or any dental services provided in a hospital. Your dentist in Brisbane Northside can confirm which services are covered before starting treatment.
Your child may be eligible for the CDBS if they are aged 2 to 17 at any point during the calendar year and you or your family receives an eligible government payment such as Family Tax Benefit Part A, a parenting payment, a disability support pension or certain other income support payments. Eligibility is assessed by Services Australia and you will receive a letter if your child qualifies. You can also check eligibility through your Medicare online account or by calling the Medicare general enquiries line.
