Child Dental Benefits Schedule
The "Child Dental Benefits Schedule" (CDBS) is a Medicare funded program aiming to provide dental care for eligible children for a range of dental services.
Our dentists are registered with the Dental Board of Australia and Medicare. All have a Medicare provider number.
So we can and do provide dental services under
- the "Child Dental Benefits Schedule" (CDBS)
We can bulk bill for services under the CDBS with your Medicare card , which means you will not need to pay anything upfront*.
Eligibility basics

children aged between 2 and 17 years on any one day of the calendar year

For each child, you can claim up to $1095 over 2 consecutive calendar years.
