Child Dental Benefits Schedule in Campbelltown
The Australian Government supports parents in ensuring their children have excellent oral health through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).
This program offers coverage for most basic general dental services for eligible children up to age 17, providing up to $1052 in benefits over two consecutive calendar years, excluding specialist services.
Eligibility Criteria for CDBS in Campbelltown
To determine if your child is eligible for the CDBS this year, specific criteria must be met since the benefit is means-tested. Eligibility includes:
Income Support: Families must receive eligible government payments, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A, Parenting Payment, or other qualifying benefits. A comprehensive list of eligible payments can be found on the official Australian Government website.
Medicare Eligibility: The child must be eligible for Medicare on the day the dental service is provided.
Age Restrictions: The child must be between 0 and 17 years old on the day of service.
How to Apply for CDBS in Campbelltown
Since the CDBS is means-tested, you don’t need to apply for it. Eligibility checks are performed by Services Australia each year. If eligible, you will receive a notification by mail. If unsure or not notified, you can:
Online Check: Check your child’s eligibility by checking your Medicare online account through myGov.
Contact Medicare: If you have any questions or are unsure about your eligibility, contact the Medicare program line directly for assistance.
Note: The CDBS has specific limitations and exclusions. It's important to review the program guidelines carefully to understand what services are covered and any applicable out-of-pocket costs.

CDBS Campbelltown
As parents, we relish in the joy of our children’s milestones – their first steps, the excitement of the first day at school, the nervousness of the first kiss, and the responsibility of the first driving lesson. Amidst these moments, let’s not overlook a milestone that’s equally crucial for their well-being – the growth of their first baby tooth.
At Bradbury Dental Surgery, we understand the significance of this early dental stage. Baby teeth aren’t just adorable; they lay the foundation for your child’s oral health journey. Serving as placeholders for permanent teeth, contributing to speech development, and playing a pivotal role in proper chewing, these little teeth are more important than meets the eye.
Bradbury Dental Surgery is proud to participate in the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) right here in Campbelltown. This means your child’s dental care is not only a priority but also affordable and easily accessible.
