7. What is teen dental plan?

On 1 July 2008, the Australian Government introduced the Medicare Teen Dental Plan to help with the cost of an annual preventative dental check. This program aims to make it more affordable for families to keep their teenager’s teeth in good health.

If you‘re eligible, a letter and voucher advising you, of your eligibility for a preventative dental check will be sent to you or your family

The voucher gives you entitlement to claim a benefit from Medicare Australia of up to the amount of $159.85 per year, once you have seen one of our dentists and had a preventative dental check.

Vouchers are only valid for the person named on the voucher and unfortunately cannot be transferred to another person. The voucher must be used within the calendar year it is issued.


The government has announced the closure of the Medicare Teen Dental Plan on 31 December 2013 and the introduction of the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) from 1 January 2014.
