Child Dental Benefits Schedule
Oakstone Dental provides services to eligible families under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).
The CDBS is an Australian Government program that provides financial support for basic dental services for eligible children.
Eligibility for the CDBS:
A child must be aged between 0-17 years for at least one day of the calendar year.
They must be eligible for Medicare.
They or their family must receive a relevant Australian Government payment, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A.
The total benefit entitlement is up to $1,132 per child over a two-year calendar period. These benefits do not cover orthodontic treatment, cosmetic dental procedures, or dental services provided in a hospital.
Eligibility is assessed at the beginning of each year by Medicare and is valid for the whole calendar year.
