Providers decide eligibility, approval, fees and repayment terms. Read the relevant terms before applying.
Health funds and Medicare
We are preferred providers for HCF, nib and CBHS. We accept Bupa and Medibank and process health fund claims through HICAPS. If you’re with HCF, nib or CBHS, our preferred-provider fees apply, so your gap may be smaller, or nothing for some services, depending on your cover.
Bring your valid health fund card. Without it, we charge the full private fee and cannot later adjust it to preferred-provider rates.
Smile.com.au members and eligible members of partner insurers can access member fees for general dental treatment. These member fees do not apply to cosmetic treatment, implants or orthodontics.
We can bulk-bill eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule with Medicare details and signed consent. We discuss uncovered or above-cap costs before treatment.
Our comprehensive check-up, clean and fluoride offer is $277, with X-rays extra when needed. The offer covers up to two standard preventive visits per patient per calendar year. You cannot combine it with other offers, and you must request it when booking. Read the check-up offer terms.
For other treatment costs, a written quote is available on request. Contact the practice.

What are my payment plan options?
Humm payment plans
Humm payment plans are available for general and cosmetic dental treatment. The provider decides approval, fees, limits and repayment terms. Check the current terms before applying; fees may apply even when a provider describes a plan as interest-free.
In-house payment plans for clear aligners
We offer in-house payment plans for clear aligner treatment only. Ask our team about the terms for your individual plan.
Superannuation access
Early release of superannuation on compassionate grounds is available only in limited circumstances under strict conditions. The Australian Taxation Office decides applications; the practice cannot guarantee eligibility or approval. Read the ATO guidance and consider independent financial advice before applying. We do not suggest this as a way to fund cosmetic treatment.
Afterpay
We accept Afterpay for general and cosmetic dental treatment. Pay in4 uses four instalments under the provider’s repayment schedule. Approval, terms and fees may apply. Read the current terms before using it.
Zip
We accept Zip for general and cosmetic dental treatment. You apply with the provider, which decides approval, fees and repayment terms. Product conditions differ; an interest-free description does not mean there are no fees. Read the current provider terms.
Frequently asked questions
Can I claim my health fund on the spot?

Does Medicare cover my child’s dental care?
Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) may cover eligible children.
