dentalParents…….Did you know?

A recent visit to the dentist yielded the following information which we wanted to share with you:

  • Your child may be eligible for up to $1000 in Dental funding from Medicare to be used in the next 2 years?
  • To be eligible the child’s parent must be a recipient of the Australian Government Family Tax Benefit Part A, or another relevant payment.
  • The scheme covers children aged 2 – 17 years inclusive
  • The scheme is called “The Child Dental Benefit Schedule” and it replaces the “Medicare Teen Dental Plan”
  • To check your child’s eligibility, call Medicare on 132 011
