Bulk Billed Kids
Dentist Kallangur

Yes. Kallangur Dental Surgery bulk bills eligible children for services covered by the CDBS, up to their available benefit. We confirm eligibility and coverage with you before treatment, so you know in advance if anything falls outside the schedule.

Eligibility is set by the Australian Government. Generally, children aged 0 to 17 who are eligible for Medicare, in a family receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A or certain other payments during the year, qualify. Services Australia usually sends a letter, and you can also check in your Medicare online account or ask us to check for you.

For children eligible for CDBS, covered services at a bulk billing dentist cost nothing on the day, up to the benefit cap. Queensland Health also runs a free school and community dental program for eligible children. Children who are not eligible for either pay the usual fees, and health fund extras cover may help.

CDBS pays up to a capped amount per child over two consecutive calendar years. Services Australia publishes the current cap, and your Medicare online account shows how much of your child's balance is left. We can check the balance for you when you book.

Orthodontics such as braces, cosmetic dentistry and any treatment given in hospital are not covered. If your child needs something outside the schedule, we give you a written estimate before any work begins.

No referral is needed. Book with us directly, bring your child's Medicare card, and we will check their eligibility and balance.

Around their first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits are short and gentle, and they help your child get used to the dental chair before any treatment is needed.

Tell us when you book. We allow extra time, explain everything in words your child understands, and never rush. Many children are happier sitting on a parent's lap for their first look.
