Dental Government Subsidies and Grants in Australia

 

At Fix Dental Mount Gravatt and Chermside we offer a range of dental treatments applicable for dental government subsidies. For patients holding a current Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) Card you can enquire with our team to find out more.

 

Medicare Children Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS):

CDBS is a dental benefits program by the Australian Government for eligible children that provides up to $1,000 in benefits for basic dental services including dental examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canal treatments and extractions. Benefits are not available for orthodontic or cosmetic dental work.

For children to be eligible for CDBS they must be:

  • 0-17 years of age on 01 January in the calendar year
  • eligible for Medicare
  • getting an eligible payment, or have a parent getting a payment, from Centrelink at least once a year, including Family Tax Benefit Part A.

At Fix Dental Brisbane, we accept all children eligible for the CDBS scheme and we bulk-bill the services directly to medicare with NO out of pocket expense to you for most services.

If you are eligible for a DVA Gold Card, you will be eligible to receive a number of dental services:

  • regular check-ups & cleans

  • reparation of cavities in your teeth with fillings or crowns
  • dentures and denture relining every two years
  • replacing your dentures every 6 years, unless your dentures have been re-lined in the past year, or if your dentist recommends a replacement sooner
