CDBS - Child Dental Benefits Schedule

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule is an Australian Government program that provides access to up to $1,095 in benefits over two consecutive calendar years, covering most basic general dental services (but not specialist services like orthodontics or services provided under general anaesthetic.)

You don't need to register for the CDBS, and will usually be notified by Services Australia if you are eligible.

To be eligible for the CDBS, a child or young person:

• must be aged 17 years or under, and

• their family must receive Family Tax Benefit Part A or a relevant Australian Government payment.

You can also check your child’s eligibility and CDBS balance through your Medicare online account at myGov, or by calling 132 011.
