What Is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?

Skipping dental care due to budget concerns may contribute to dental issues if not addressed early, such as decay, gum irritation, or overcrowding. These conditions may cause pain, affect eating habits, or lead to further complications. The Child Dental Benefits Schedule in Bunbury helps families access dental care through government-provided benefits.

Is Your Child Eligible for CDBS?

  • Age range
    Your child must be between 0 and 17 years old for at least one day during the calendar year. This supports dental care during important stages, such as early tooth eruption and adolescent oral development.
  • Medicare enrolment
    Your child must be enrolled in Medicare to access the Child Dental Benefits Schedule in Bunbury. This allows dental providers to process claims directly and helps determine eligibility for publicly funded children’s dental services under CDBS.
  • Government payments
    To qualify, your child or family must receive an eligible government payment. This includes Family Tax Benefit Part A, Parenting Payment, or another relevant Centrelink payment that qualifies under the CDBS criteria and is received at any time during the calendar year.
  • Benefit year
    Each year, eligibility is reassessed based on Medicare enrolment and relevant government payments. Even if a child qualified in a previous year, they must meet the current-year requirements to continue accessing benefits under the schedule.

CDBS Bulk Billing Benefits for Eligible Bunbury Families

  • Two-year cap
    Eligible children can access up to $1,132 in dental benefits over a two-calendar-year period. This amount can be used across multiple visits for approved services until the limit is reached.
  • Preventive care
    CDBS covers essential preventive services, including dental checkups, cleans, x-rays, and fluoride treatments. These are part of the CDBS and may not incur extra costs for eligible children within the benefit limit.
  • Basic treatments
    The scheme also covers common treatments, such as fillings, fissure sealants, and extractions, when clinically necessary. These may be provided with no further payment required for eligible families up to the benefit cap.
  • Flexible usage
    The CDBS benefit can be used over several bulk-billed visits at participating clinics. A Bunbury dentist for CDBS-eligible children can provide information about eligible treatments and discuss available times or help organise visits within the benefit period.
