The Government provides assistance for 2 – 17 year olds through the new Child Dental Benefit Schedule which commenced on 1st January 2014. This replaces the Medicare Teen Dental plan.

Our family dental practice is happy to bulk bill dental treatment provided under this scheme for eligible children up to the limit of $1000 over 2 years.

Please note:

Eligibility will need to be confirmed before commencement of dental care.

Without this confirmation treatment cannot be provided under this scheme.
