What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a government program that helps families cover the cost of basic dental care for kids and teens. It provides up to $1,095 over two consecutive calendar years for eligible children aged 0–17.

Supa Dental proudly bulk-bills CDBS, so if your child is eligible, you won’t pay a cent out of pocket for included services, up to the benefit limit.

CDBS Eligibility

Who Can Get CDBS?
Your child may be eligible if they meet all three of the following:

  • Aged 0–17 for at least one day this calendar year
  • Eligible for Medicare
  • You or your child received a relevant payment at least once during the year (e.g. Family Tax Benefit Part A, Parenting Payment, Carer Payment, ABSTUDY, Youth Allowance, Disability Support Pension)

How to Use the Child Dental Benefits Schedule at Supa Dental

At Supa Dental, we make using CDBS simple:

  1. Check your eligibility (we can help)
  2. Book your child’s appointment
  3. Bring your Medicare card on the day
  4. We bulk-bill your child’s treatment (no paperwork, no gap fees)

You can start using the benefit as soon as eligibility is confirmed. Unused amounts from the first year carry over to the second (if your child remains eligible), but anything unused after two years will expire.

If you’re attending Supa Dental, you don’t need to do a thing. We:

✔ Confirm your child’s eligibility
✔ Process your claim directly through Medicare
✔ Let you know how much benefit is remaining
✔ Ensure you never pay out of pocket for covered services*

*Unless your child has used the full $1,095 or needs treatment not covered by the program (we’ll always tell you first).
