Dental treatment assistance
Some help may be repayableOverview
Help with immediate and essential dental treatment. Assistance within the grant limit is non-repayable; additional help may be repayable.
Eligibility points to check
Check treatment, age, residency, finances and previous assistance. Routine check-ups and cosmetic work are generally excluded. This pathway overlaps with Special Needs Grant and repayable help; do not double-count.
How to proceed
Ask the dentist to complete the official treatment form, then follow the Work and Income or StudyLink application steps.
