As June quickly approaches, so does the end of the Australian financial year, and with it, a valuable opportunity many patients forget: unclaimed health fund benefits.
At Be Well Dental in Highgate Hill, we’re reminding our community to check in on their health fund entitlements before they reset on July 1. Many policies include dental extras that cover cosmetic consultations or minor treatments, but if you don’t use them by EOFY, they’re gone for good.
What Can You Use Your Dental Extras For?
Most health funds allow you to use your dental benefits for general treatments like check-ups and cleans, but many also include some coverage for cosmetic services. That means you might be able to use your remaining balance for things like:
- Professional teeth whitening — Brighten your smile in time for winter holidays or an upcoming event.
- Minor bonding treatments — Fix small chips, close gaps or smooth out uneven teeth.
- Cosmetic consultations — Thinking about veneers or a smile makeover? Use your benefits to explore your options.
Even a quick touch-up before tax time can make a big difference in your confidence, and your smile in photos.
Why Does It Matter Now?
Most health funds operate on a ‘use it or lose it’ policy, meaning any unclaimed benefits vanish after June 30. You’ve paid for them all year, so why not take advantage of what’s already yours?
Booking a cosmetic consultation or simple treatment before EOFY is a smart way to boost your smile and get full value from your health coverage.
