To be eligible under the scheme your child must be aged between 2 and 17. You must also be eligible under the Medicare system and receive a family government benefit such as the Family Tax Benefit Part A. To double check if your child is eligible you can call Medicare on 132011. Under the Children’s Dental Benefits Scheme your child can receive up to $1,000, which is broken down over two consecutive years. If the total amount is not used up in the first year, the remaining funds can be rolled over into your second year, so long as your child remains eligible. When you make your appointment with Gold Coast Smiles, we will discuss your child’s treatments and all associated costs before providing your family with any required dental services.
