Almost 70 per cent of low-income families are not claiming up to $1000 in child dental benefits they are eligible for.
The federal government has a standing rebate of up to $1000 worth of treatment over a two-year period for children aged two to 17, including examinations, X-rays, cleaning, fillings, root canals and extractions.
New research has found about 70 per cent of families eligible for a major dental rebate aren’t using it.
