Medicare

Is Your Child Eligible?

To be eligible, your child must be aged 6 months to 17 years and be part of a family receiving one of the following benefits:

• Family Tax Benefit Part A

• Parenting Payment

• Carer Payment

• Disability Support Pension

• Youth Allowance

• Special Benefit

• Double Orphan Pension

• Financial assistance through Veterans' Children Education Scheme (VCES) or MRCA Education and Training Scheme (MRCAETS)

At Little Smiles Dental, we’ll confirm each child’s Medicare eligibility before our visit, so eligible children can receive completely bulk-billed dental treatment — no out-of-pocket cost to families.

Note: Eligibility is determined by Medicare not Little Smiles Dental. 

Have questions or want to learn more? We’re here to help!

For children who aren’t eligible under Medicare, families still have the option to:

✔️ Proceed with our professional clean and fluoride application for a private fee

✔️ Receive a detailed receipt to claim through private health insurance, if dental cover is included

We’re happy to support every child and make dental care as accessible and stress-free as possible. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Regardless of Medicare status all children receive a free teeth check!
