Understanding the scheme
The Child Dental Benefits Scheme is a government initiative that provides eligible children aged 0–17 years with financial support for general dental services. It is administered through Medicare and helps families access essential dental care.
At Hayat Dental Chippendale, eligible services are bulk billed directly to Medicare, which means no out-of-pocket expense for covered treatment.
Up to $1,158 of eligible dental treatment over two calendar years
