Is my child eligible?
A child's eligibility for the CDBS is based on if the child is eligible for Medicare, if they are aged 2-17 yo within the calendar year and that they receive a relevant Australian government payment such as Family Tax Benefit Part A at any point in the calendar year.
The department of Human Services will usually send a notification at the beginning of the year to advise the family that their child has qualified for CDBS, but you can also check to see if your child is eligible by contacting Medicare.
