The Child Dental Benefits Schedule is an Australian Government program that contributes towards eligible basic dental services for children and teenagers who meet the age, Medicare and eligible payment rules.
A child must be aged 0 to 17 for at least one day in the calendar year, be eligible for Medicare, and either the child or a parent, carer or guardian must receive an eligible payment at least once that year.
The cap is up to $1,158 over two consecutive calendar years when 2026 is the first year of the benefit period. If 2025 was the first year, the cap remains up to $1,132 for that period. Previous claims reduce the remaining balance.
Eligible services can include examinations, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canal treatment and extractions. Orthodontic, cosmetic and hospital dental services are not covered.
No. The amount claimable depends on eligibility, the applicable cap, remaining balance, item rules, clinical need and the clinic’s fees. Proposed treatment, expected benefits and any likely private costs are discussed before care.
Dakabin Dental will check current eligibility and available benefit information where possible, then contact you about the result and suitable next step. Submitting the form does not automatically create an appointment.
This information is general and does not replace professional dental advice. CDBS eligibility, the applicable two-year cap, available balance, item restrictions, treatment needs and private costs vary between children.
Services Australia determines CDBS eligibility and benefit information. Before treatment, the proposed services, expected benefits and any likely private costs should be explained and consent obtained. If your child has difficulty breathing, rapidly increasing facial swelling or a medical emergency, call 000.
