What is the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Scheme?

The Child Dental Benefits Scheme covers part or the full cost of some basic dental services for children if you get certain payments from Medicare.

This scheme is bulk-billed at our practice (provided you are eligible) and is processed via our Hicaps terminals.

Please note, if you have gone over your limit, you may be required to pay a gap payment to the clinic.

How to check eligibility for Child Dental Benefits

Just a gentle reminder to all our patients to check with us whether your kids are eligible for the Medicare Scheme.

To get this your child must be all of the following:

• 0 to 17 years old for at least one day that calendar year
• Eligible for Medicare
• Getting a payment from Medicare at least once a year, or have a parent, carer or guardian getting a payment from Medicare at least once a year.

All we need is their Medicare Card number, Reference and Name and we can check this online for you!

If they are eligible, they will have up to $1,132 of FREE DENTAL (2025) to use over a 2 year period. Do not miss this chance to use it these holidays!
