You can avail Child Dental Benefits Schedule at our clinic. All children between ages 2-17 are eligible to avail the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. It is a program under the Australian Government that lets your child receive general dental services worth $1095 over two consecutive calendar years. Once you receive a confirmation letter from Medicare, you can avail the dental benefits under Child Dental Benefits Schedule.
To be eligible, you or the child must be claiming one of the following benefits: Family Tax Benefits-Part A, Parenting Payment, Abstudy, Youth Allowance, Carer’s Payment, Disability Support Pension, Special Benefits or Double Orphan Pension. To enquire if your child is eligible, please contact Medicare on 132 011. Once your child’s forms have been completed, we will individually check each child’s eligibility to see if treatment can be bulk billed through Medicare.
If your child is NOT ELIGIBLE for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule funding they can still receive treatment. We can offer a comprehensive oral examination and a parent report for $50 or a comprehensive oral examination and a clean (removal of plaque & calculus) and a parent report for $80. f you have private health insurance, we will provide you with a receipt to claim back with your private health insurance directly.
