Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS)

To determine if your child qualifies for the CDBS, check if they are:
- Between 0 and 17 years of age at any point in the calendar year
- Eligible for Medicare
- Receiving certain government benefits, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A, at any point of the calendar year.

Veteran’s Affairs
Manchester Rd Dental Surgery is proud to offer our services to those who hold a valid Department of Veteran’s Affairs (DVA) Health Card. As approved providers for dental treatment under the DVA, this program allows us to provide treatment at no out-of-pocket expense, to eligible clients covering:
- preventive treatment such as examinations and cleaning
- simple treatment such as fillings and extractions
- complex treatment such as crowns, bridges, implants and dentures
- emergency treatment following unforeseen injuries
Program eligibility is based on Veteran Card type:
Gold Card holders are entitled for treatment of all dental conditions
White Card holders are only eligible for treatment of their accepted dental condition or the dental consequences of cancer treatment.
Please advise us in advance if you are eligible for care under this program, and present your DVA Gold or White Health Card to Manchester Rd Dental at your appointment. Our team will evaluate your dental care needs and, if necessary, provide treatment following DVA policies.
Public dental Vouchers
We are happy to assist with long public waitlists for dental care by accepting public dental vouchers for general, denture, and emergency care. These are provided by local community dental clinics according to their capacity to take care of your needs.
