Medicare Child Dental Benefit at Smiles Plus Dental Rouse Hill

Child Dental Benefits Schedule

Financial Support for Basic Dental Services for Children Aged 2-17

We are pleased to inform you that Smiles Plus Dental Rouse Hill accepts Medicare Child Dental Benefits! The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) provides essential dental services to children aged 2-17 years, with a capped benefit of $1,000 per child over a two-year period. Any unused benefit in the first year can be carried over to the second year if eligibility continues. However, the benefit does not roll over after the second year.

Eligibility

Eligibility To qualify for CDBS, children must meet the means test, which requires receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A (FTB-A) or other relevant Australian Government payments. For detailed eligibility information, please contact us or visit the official Medicare site.
