Helping make dental care accessible
& affordable for all Australians

Eligible children can receive dental care under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). From 2026, the CDBS provides up to $1,158 per eligible child for basic dental services over two consecutive calendar years. It is available to eligible children aged 0–17 for at least one day of the calendar year where the child or family receives an eligible Australian Government payment.

You can check eligibility through your myGov account, by contacting Medicare, or by contacting the centre. The team can check eligibility and the remaining CDBS balance using the relevant provider details before you book.

CDBS can cover eligible basic dental services including examinations, X-rays, cleans, fluoride, fissure sealants, fillings, root canal treatment and extractions.

For adults, Primary Dental Marion Domain does not bulk bill. However, eligible patients may be able to access public dental care through SA Dental. Adults aged 18 or over must live in South Australia and hold a current Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card. Adult dependants aged 18 to 21 listed on the cardholder's card can also attend, however a person listed only as a partner on a card is not eligible unless they hold their own card. A Medicare card alone is not accepted for adults. Adult concession cardholders contribute towards the cost of their care, and fees are usually reviewed on 1 July each year. Department of Veterans' Affairs cardholders may instead be eligible through Veteran Dental Services. To find out whether you are eligible, contact your closest SA Dental community dental clinic for assessment and triage.

Same-day emergency appointments may be available depending on the dentist's appointment book. If you cannot see an appointment online, please call the centre and the team will do their best to find the earliest available appointment. If there is no immediate availability, you may be offered a standby appointment if a suitable opening becomes available.

We understand that toothache, broken or knocked-out teeth, swelling and lost fillings may require prompt attention. Please call as early as possible so the team can advise the soonest available appointment.

At Primary Dental Marion Domain, an emergency appointment including a consultation and one X-ray is $146. This fee is indicative and may vary depending on your dentist and clinical needs. Additional X-rays or treatment, if required, will be charged separately.

If you have severe swelling affecting your breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding or significant facial trauma, go to your nearest hospital emergency department or call 000.
