To be eligible for the CDBS, a child must be: aged between 2-17 years. their family must receive Family Tax Benefit Part A or a relevant Australian Government payment.
We usually charge for a checkup, clean and fluoride. Usually radiographs are not necessary at this age. The charges are usually $100 +. If you are eligible for CDBS this should be covered free of charge.
We are lucky to get $1000 per child as a centrelink benefit, my little ones go every 6 months as a check up or clean. It would cost $56 (General visit) to $96 (with a clean) otherwise.
Hopefully you can get the $1000!
If you get family tax part A then you get up to $1,000 per child covered – otherwise you don’t (unfortunately I don’t). I just took my 2 kids to the school dental and it was $42 each – and that covers everything (e.g .my son needs fissures and they are both getting fluoride). But I’m pretty sure it’s free for pre-schoolers at the school-dentist (those not at school yet) so you shouldn’t have to pay if you went there. Just google the school dentists to find one near you.
