Payment Plans Offered
Afterpay is one of the most popular payment methods for more significant expenses. If you can’t pay for your dental treatments in one hit, you can use Afterpay to divide payments into four fortnightly instalments. Payments cap at $1,500 and there is zero interest for patients who pay on time. Afterpay allows you to forego all contracts and pay off your dental treatments on your own schedule.
Powered by Humm, National Dental Plan (NDP) can bring the most premium dental treatments within your reach. Enjoy up to $12,000 worth of treatments today and zero interest down the line. It’s as good as it sounds!
In a similar vein to Afterpay, you can use NDP to divide your payments into manageable fortnightly instalments. Provided you stick to your payment schedule, there will be zero guesswork, interest, or hidden fees surrounding your fortnightly payments. Applying for NDP takes under five minutes and we will assess your application using our standard credit approval process.
Openpay is like Afterpay but with larger credit limits and more flexible deadlines. Whilst Afterpay is intended for smaller, shorter-term purchases, Openpay is for larger payments or investments. With Openpay, your credit limit is $20,000 and you can make repayments over 18 weeks. There are varied payment plans to suit different levels of expenditure. Overall, Openpay is a solid option for patients who wish to undergo more expensive treatments.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a Medicare initiative that exists to make general dentistry more accessible to eligible children. Eligible children will fall between the ages of two and seventeen and they or their families will be receiving either Family Tax Benefit Part A or any of the following Centrelink payments:
- Youth Allowance
- ABSTUDY Allowance
- Disability Support Pension
- Parenting Payment
- Special Benefit
- Carer Payment
- Double Orphan Pension.
The CDBS caps at $1,026 per child and the entitlement lasts two calendar years before expiring. Unused credits do not roll over onto the next two-year period.
If you hold a Gold or White Veterans’ Affairs card, you can claim most of our dental treatments subsidised. We will bulk-bill your card and claim directly from DVA, so you won’t need to pay upfront. Please note that there are some restrictions subject to the DVA Dental Schedule, such as annual monetary limits, pre-approval requirements (affecting some dental treatments), or time limits on how long you can wait to receive or reclaim a service.
As part of the Victorian Emergency Dental Scheme (VEDS) and the Victorian General Dental Scheme (VGDS), local community dental clinics will distribute vouchers to the eligible. We will accept all valid vouchers that fall under either of these Victorian Dental Schemes.
