We welcome Dental candidates from Australia, New Zealand and International applicants looking for Dental jobs in Australia to contact us. Candidates from the UK, Ireland, Canada and Sth Africa are certainly welcome to apply.

International Candidates - If your qualifications are not from an Australian or New Zealand University, you will need to undergo a qualification assessment from the Australian Dental Council website CLICK HERE

This assessment is mandatory and a requirement before you can apply for work in Australia.

Visas: 

International Dentists looking to come to Australia for work will need a visa. New Zealand Dentists can enter Australia and work on their NZ passport. For all other nationalities, you will need a visa.

The most common are:

1. The working holiday visa for those under the age of 31 and from either Belgium, Canada, Republic of Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan and United Kingdom. If you from one of these countries you are eligible for this visa.  

2. Sponsored working visa - if you not from one of the above countries or are over the age of 30, then you need an "Employer Sponsor" to provide a visa for you to enter and work in Australia. First, you need to undertake the qualification assessment. When this is completed, contact us and we can try and find a sponsor for you.  
Note: This visa ties you to your sponsor, it does not allow you to travel and change employment in Australia on arrival. Most Australian employers will usually require a contract length of around 2 years to offer a visa to international candidates under sponsorship.

Dental State Registration: 

Each Australian state has it's own Dental Registration Board.  Dentists MUST be registered with the board in the state they intend to work before starting employment.  For international applicants, you will be required to undertake the Australian Dental Council (ADC) assessment before you can apply for State Board Registration as these documents will be required. For Australian and NZ trained Dentists, you can apply directly to the relevant state board using your qualifications. Links to the State Dental Boards are listed below.
