Healthy Living in High Schools

Did you know children may get free dental care through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) at both private and public dental clinics? The CDBS is an Australian Government program that provides access to up to $1,158 in benefits over two calendar years, covering most general dental services. Children are eligible for the CDBS if they are:

• aged zero to 17 years for any one day of the calendar year
• eligible for Medicare
• part of a family that receives Family Tax Benefit Part A or the child receives an Australian Government payment from the list available through Services Australia

Even if your child isn’t eligible for the CDBS, you have used all your CDBS benefit, or if your child needs treatment not covered by the CDBS, there are still no costs for care at NSW public dental clinics. Check if your child is eligible for free dental care by visiting health.nsw.gov.au/cdbs
