Does my child's Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS) balance run out at the end of the year?

You want the very best for your child, and an important part of their well-being is ensuring they receive preventive dental care. Fortunately, if your child qualifies for the Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS), they’re eligible for routine cleanings, fillings and other necessary treatments.

How Does CDBS Coverage Work?

The CDBS covers eligible children over two consecutive calendar years, and any unused amount doesn’t carry over once that period ends, so it’s important to know when your child’s coverage began.

Here are the best ways to determine whether your child is covered:

  • Sign in to your myGov account to view your child’s remaining balance and when their two-year cycle ends.
  • Open the Express Plus Medicare app to view the same information.
  • Call Medicare to speak with an agent about your child’s balance.
  • Reach out to our dental clinic for assistance. We will be happy to help!
