We use single-use disposable diagnostic instruments where possible and/or fully sterile instruments for each child sterilised according to the current infection control guidelines.
What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?
What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?
The Medicare-funded Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is an Australian Government program that provides up to $1,132 of dental treatment for eligible children aged 0– 17 for at least one day that calendar year, covering most basic general dental services. You do not need to register your child for the CDBS.
How does the $1,132 cap work?
How does the $1,132 cap work?
Eligible children may have up to $1,095 of basic dental treatment over a two-year period. It begins at the start of the calendar year and any money not spent in the first year is carried over to the second year. You cannot claim benefits from both private health insurance and the CDBS for the same services.
If you are unsure, it is quick and easy to check your eligibility. Simply ask us or alternatively you can call Medicare on 132 011 (7 days a week, 24 hours a day) or visit www.servicesaustralia.gov.au
