Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) in Frankston
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a Medicare program that provides up to $1,132 in benefits over two calendar years for eligible children aged 0-17. This initiative helps families access a range of dental services without extra out-of-pocket costs for covered items.
Who Can Access the CDBS?
Children may be eligible if they are aged 0-17 years, qualify for Medicare, and their family receives Family Tax Benefit Part A or another approved government payment. Many Australian families are included in this scheme, making dental services more accessible when they’re needed.
Checking Eligibility
You can confirm your child’s eligibility by calling Medicare on 132 011, logging into your myGov account, asking us to check when booking, or reviewing any correspondence you’ve received from Medicare about CDBS.
Services Covered
The CDBS covers a range of services, including:
- Routine checkups and examinations (bulk billed with no gap)
- Professional cleans and fluoride applications
- X-rays and diagnostic services
- Fillings and fissure sealants
- Extractions and root canal services
- Oral health education and advice
How It Works
Getting started is simple: mention CDBS when booking, bring your Medicare card to your visit, and we’ll bulk bill eligible services directly to Medicare.
