You’ll get a letter to confirm if your child’s eligible for the CDBS if you’re a:
Older children getting payments under their own name may also get a letter.
To be eligible, you must be:
Child’s parent, carer, or guardian:
Child:
Teenager’s partner:
Eligibility is assessed at the beginning of each calendar year and is valid for the entire year. If you become eligible part way through a calendar year, you only get benefits under the CDBS from the date of Medicare eligibility.
Eligibility may be affected if you go from getting fortnightly Family Tax Benefit Part A payments to lump sum payments. If your payments change, contact us about your eligibility for the CDBS.
From 1 January 2017, benefits for basic dental services are capped at $1000 per child over 2 consecutive calendar years.
The 2 year cap period starts when a child or teenager first gets an eligible dental service.
If a child or teenager already started their 2 year cap period in 2016, they can continue to access the rest of the previous cap of $1,000 until 31 December 2017, provided the child is eligible for the CDBS in 2017.
If you don’t use all of the $1000 benefit in the first year of eligibility, it can be used in the second year if the child remains eligible. Any remaining benefit can’t be accessed after the end of the second year.
Benefits cover a range of services including:
Benefits aren’t available for orthodontic or cosmetic dental work and can’t be paid for any services provided in a hospital.
CDBS services won’t count towards the Medicare Safety Net or the Extended Medicare Safety Net thresholds.
To use the CDBS:
After the dental provider has provided the agreed services, they will either bulk bill or charge you for the services. If they charge you, you need to pay the account and claim the benefit through us.
