At a glance

What HCF members get at Carrum Downs Family Dental

Australia’s largest not-for-profit health fund. Here’s what that means in practice for you.

1 100% back on preventive care

HCF members with eligible extras cover get 100% back on one or two check-ups, a scale and clean and a fluoride treatment each calendar year, as part of the More for Teeth program.

2 No-gap children's mouthguards

Protect your child’s teeth through the sport season with a custom-fitted mouthguard.

3 Agreed fees on general dental

For treatment outside preventive care, we charge HCF’s agreed More for You provider fees.

Before you book: your exact benefit depends on your level of HCF cover, your remaining annual limit and any waiting periods. Call us with your membership number and we’ll tell you your out-of-pocket cost before you commit. See the full terms at the bottom of this page.

We accept every Australian health fund — not just these ones

Whoever you're insured with, you can claim your rebate instantly at the chair through HICAPS at Carrum Downs Family Dental. Just bring your physical or digital fund card and you'll only ever pay the difference. The partnerships below are additional benefits we've negotiated on top of that.

More back in your pocket — every visit

Same treatment. Same dentist. Same chair. The difference is that when you see a preferred provider, HCF pays a higher benefit and we’ve agreed to charge HCF’s capped fees. Both sides of the sum move in your favour — so the gap you actually pay gets smaller.

Less out of your pocket

You get a bigger rebate

At a preferred provider, HCF pays a higher benefit than it does at a non-network clinic. Same procedure — more of it comes back to you.

Our fees are capped

We charge HCF’s agreed price list — rates negotiated to sit below what clinics outside the network typically charge for the same work.

So your gap shrinks

Bigger rebate plus a capped fee means less to pay at the desk. On preventive care with several of our funds, that gap can be $0.

Nothing to claim back

It’s all settled at the chair through HICAPS. Your rebate applies instantly — you pay the gap, if there is one, and leave.

The honest caveat: exactly what you get back depends on your level of cover, how much of your annual limit is left, and any waiting periods. Bring your card and we’ll run a free HICAPS quote before we start, so you know your out-of-pocket cost up front. Full terms at the foot of this page.

Why we're able to offer this
We hold preferred provider status with six major funds — and these networks are closed. Funds cap how many practices they admit in an area, and assess infection control, clinical governance, facilities and patient outcomes before letting a clinic in. We're an independently ADA-accredited practice meeting NSQHS national safety standards, rated 4.8 from 262+ Google reviews.

How much will I pay out of pocket as a HCF member?

It depends on your level of HCF extras cover, your remaining annual limit and any waiting periods. Bring your card and we’ll run a free HICAPS quote before we start any treatment, so you know the exact figure first.
