Up to $1,158 of dental care, bulk billed.
Medicare’s Child Dental Benefit Schedule covers eligible children for check-ups, cleans, X‑rays, fillings and extractions. We bulk bill it — nothing out of pocket, no gap, no invoice at reception.
You’ll need your Medicare card · The cap is set by Medicare and changes each year — we confirm your child’s balance before we start
Check first
Three questions, then you’ll know.
This is the same test Medicare applies. It isn’t a formal answer — we confirm it properly when you book — but it will tell you whether it’s worth your time.
Is your child aged 0–17?
Does your family receive Family Tax Benefit Part A, or another eligible payment?
Does your child have a Medicare card?
Sounds like they qualify.
We confirm it against Medicare when you book, so you’ll know for certain before the appointment rather than after it.
Worth letting us check.
Eligibility isn’t always obvious and plenty of families qualify without realising. Send us your child’s details and we’ll check it against Medicare directly and come back to you.
What CDBS covers
What’s included.
Not covered: orthodontics, and anything cosmetic. Better you know that here than in the chair.
What parents actually worry about
No invoice. No gap.
Bulk billed means bulk billed. We claim it from Medicare directly and you pay nothing on the day.
There is no top-up fee, no booking fee, and no gap payment at reception.
If you’re not eligible
There are other ways in.
Bupa preferred providerMembers don’t pay more here — you pay what Bupa and we have agreed. Because we’re a Bupa provider, the amount is set by your fund, not by us.See our listing →
nib preferred providerMembers don’t pay more here — you pay what nib and we have agreed. Because we’re an nib provider, the amount is set by your fund, not by us.See our listing →Every other Australian fund is accepted on HICAPS — bring your card and it is claimed on the day. What your fund pays is set by your policy, so check with them for your own rebate.
We also accept NSW Government dental vouchers. Bring it to the appointment and we will process it — there is nothing to arrange with us beforehand. That is a NSW state scheme and separate from the Medicare cover above.

Things people ask
Open what’s relevant to you.
Is there anything to pay?
Not for treatment covered by CDBS while your child still has balance left. We bulk bill it, so Medicare pays us directly and nothing is charged to you on the day.
What if we’re not eligible?
Then it goes through your health fund like any other visit, or you pay the published fee. We’ll tell you the cost before we start, not after.
We also accept NSW Government dental vouchers.
What ages does it cover?
0 to 17, as long as your family receives Family Tax Benefit Part A or another eligible payment and your child has a Medicare card.
Do you see nervous children?
Often, and it’s most of what makes a first visit go well or badly. We go at their pace, explain what we’re doing before we do it, and stop when they ask.
Happy gas is available here for children who need it.
Do I need a referral?
No. Book straight in.
