Hicaps
We have the facility to claim directly through all registered Australian Private Health Funds, leaving only the gap to pay.
You must have your health fund card present for us to swipe for processing.
No card: The full amount for the procedure is required and claiming is processed direct through the health fund with the itemised receipt issued to you.

Medicare
Under Medicare, the Australian government provides a capped benefit entitlement for children aged 2-17, allowing access to dental treatment for eligible families. Most families with children covered by the program will have received a letter from Medicare explaining your entitlements.
Treatment is bulk billed to Medicare, requiring no out of pocket expense for procedures covered by the scheme.

The Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS) covers the cost of most basic dental procedures, capped at $1000 per 2 year period. Procedures covered include regular checkups, cleaning, X-rays, root canal treatments, extractions and fillings. Orthodontic services are not covered by the program.
It is important for parents to note that this Commonwealth Government funded initiative may be cancelled or changed at any time.

In order to access the benefits of the CDBS, please ensure you bring your Medicare card to each appointment. A consent form is also required every calendar year, signed by the child’s parent or legal guardian.
