Dental Recruitment Agency in Australia
Struggling to find qualified dental staff or looking for a dental career in Australia? We are your go-to recruitment agency for dentists, OHTs, hygienists, DAs, and technicians.
Simplifying Dental Staffing for You
Finding the right dental professional or the right workplace can take time. With more dental practices growing across Australia and demand for skilled team members increasing, great opportunities and great candidates can move quickly.
For practices, recruitment is more than just finding someone with the right qualifications. It’s about finding a person who fits your team, understands your values, and can make a real difference to your patients’ experience.
For dental professionals, finding the right role is about more than securing a job. It’s about joining a practice where you feel valued, supported and have the opportunity to grow.
Whether you’re hiring or looking for opportunities as an overseas registered professional, we help make the process easier. Through our trusted dental academy and migration partners, we can also assist with licence registration and visa requirements, helping bridge the gap between dental professionals and practice owners.
Here are Some Reasons
Dental Practices Across Australia Trust Us With Their Recruitment.
Industry Expertise
As dental recruitment specialists, we understand the clinical, recruitment, and migration landscape. Whether you’re hiring locally or internationally, we’ll guide you through the process and determine the best path forward, making recruitment simpler, faster, and stress-free.
Shortened Process
You’ll only receive thoroughly vetted candidate profiles, meaning less time sifting through piles of resumes and more time interviewing the very best talent. We leverage our extensive network of dental professionals, both onshore and offshore, carefully screening every candidate before they ever reach your inbox.
Global Talent Access
Whether you’re looking for onshore talent or experienced offshore professionals, you’ll have first access to successful graduates from our partners’ dental academies, giving you the opportunity to secure exceptional candidates. Every candidate we recommend has the required AHPRA or relevant professional registration, along with any necessary examinations completed, so they’re ready to join your practice.
Personalised Service
Recruitment looks different for every practice and role. Before even beginning the search, our goal is to first understand your business, your culture, staffing needs and specific skills required. This allows us to deliver a tailored recruitment solution instead of offering a random list of resumes.
Existing Staff Retention
Our service extends beyond finding new talents. Quite often, practices have loyal, skilled staff that they would like to retain for as long as possible. This could mean sponsoring their visas, if they are on a temporary visa. We work in collaboration with migration agents to make the retention process stress free for you.
No Risk, No Upfront Fees
You only pay when you choose to employ a candidate. With no upfront fees and no obligation, you can access the right talent with complete confidence. It’s simple: only pay for the person who is the right fit for your practice.

FAQs
For Employers
What types of dental roles do you recruit for?
How do you ensure candidates are the right fit for our practice?
Finding the right match starts with understanding your practice, your team culture, and the type of candidate you’re looking for.
Rather than simply presenting you with a long list of CVs, we carefully screen each candidate based on your requirements, experience, qualifications and suitability for the role. We only introduce candidates we believe are a good fit, while the final hiring decision always remains with you.
Why should we use a dental recruitment agency instead of advertising ourselves?
While you can advertise a dental job yourself, finding the right dentist, oral health therapist, dental hygienist, dental assistant or practice manager often takes more than posting an ad. Reviewing applications, screening candidates and arranging interviews can be time-consuming and may not always attract the right people.
As a dental recruitment agency, we take the time to understand your practice, pre-screen every candidate and introduce only those who closely match your requirements, values and team culture. You’ll also gain access to our broader network of dental professionals, including candidates who may not be actively applying for roles, helping you fill vacancies more efficiently while saving valuable time.
Do you provide temporary, permanent, or contract dental staffing solutions?
Our primary focus is helping dental practices recruit permanent, full-time team members for long-term success. Whether you’re looking for a dentist, oral health therapist, dental hygienist, dental assistant or practice manager, we work to find candidates who are the right fit for your practice, both professionally and culturally.
If you have a specific recruitment requirement, feel free to contact us to discuss your needs.
How much does dental recruitment cost?
Our recruitment fees vary depending on the role, level of experience, location and the type of recruitment support required. We’ll provide a clear, tailored quote upfront with no hidden costs, so you know exactly what to expect.
Contact us to discuss your hiring needs and receive a customised recruitment proposal.
When do I need to pay the recruitment fee?
Am I responsible for the hired staff's wages?
Yes. As the employer, you are responsible for the successful candidate’s wages, superannuation and other employment obligations in accordance with Australian workplace laws.
Our role as a dental recruiter is to source, screen and introduce suitable candidates, while the employment relationship is established directly between your practice and the successful applicant.
What happens if the new hire or employer isn't the right fit?
Sometimes, despite careful screening, a placement may not work out as expected. If this happens, speak with our team as soon as possible. We’ll work with both parties to understand the situation and discuss the appropriate next steps in line with the agreed recruitment terms and conditions.
Do you recruit across all areas of Australia?
Do you recruit dental professionals from Australia only, or also from overseas?
We recruit both onshore and offshore dental professionals. Depending on your recruitment needs, we can source qualified candidates already living in Australia as well as experienced overseas-trained professionals.
Through our trusted dental academy and migration partners, we can also assist eligible overseas candidates with AHPRA registration, licence pathways and visa requirements, giving your practice access to a broader pool of talent.
For Employees
Do you help overseas-trained dentists find opportunities in Australia?
Yes. We work with a network of dental practices across Australia and regularly connect overseas-trained dental professionals with employers looking to grow their teams.
Through our trusted dental academy and migration partners, we can also assist with AHPRA registration, licence pathways and visa requirements, making the transition into the Australian dental workforce as smooth as possible.
Can you assist with AHPRA registration and visa sponsorship requirements?
Yes. Through our trusted dental academy and migration partners, we can guide overseas-trained dental professionals through the AHPRA registration process, licence pathways and visa requirements.
We also work closely with dental practices that may be open to sponsoring the right candidate, where appropriate, helping make the recruitment process as straightforward as possible.
Do I need AHPRA registration before applying for dental roles?
It depends on the role you’re applying for and the current Australian regulations. For dentists, oral health therapists and dental hygienists, AHPRA registration is generally required before you can practise in Australia.
For dental assistants, dental technicians and some other dental support roles, AHPRA registration is not required. However, if you’re seeking employer-sponsored work, you may need to have your qualifications and skills assessed by the relevant assessing authority to meet visa requirements.
If you’re unsure which pathway applies to you, our team can help point you in the right direction based on your profession and circumstances. Get in touch!
Will my profile be shared with employers without my permission?
No. We respect your privacy and will never share your profile or personal information with an employer without your knowledge. We’ll discuss suitable opportunities with you first and only present your profile to practices once you’ve given your consent.
Can you help me find dental jobs anywhere in Australia?
Yes. We work with dental practices throughout Australia and regularly have opportunities available in metropolitan, regional and rural locations. Whether you’re looking to relocate, secure your first role in Australia or take the next step in your career, we can help connect you with suitable opportunities across the country.
I'm a dentist who's recently passed the ADC exams and obtained AHPRA registration. I have extensive overseas experience. Can you help me find an employer who can hire and sponsor me?
Yes. We work with a network of dental practices across Australia, including employers who may be open to sponsoring the right candidate.
If you’ve successfully completed your ADC pathway, hold AHPRA registration and have strong clinical experience overseas, we’d be happy to discuss suitable opportunities and introduce you to practices looking to grow their team. Each opportunity and sponsorship arrangement will depend on the employer’s requirements and eligibility. Apply now to start the conversation.
I'm an overseas-trained dentist, dental hygienist or oral health therapist, and I'm currently working as a dental assistant in Australia. What are my options?
It depends on your long-term goals. If you’re looking to continue your career as a dental assistant, we can help connect you with practices offering better career opportunities, including employers who may be open to sponsorship where appropriate.
If your goal is to return to practising in your original profession, we can point you towards the appropriate AHPRA registration or licensing pathway and help you explore employment opportunities once you’re eligible.
Many candidates pursue both options, building local Australian experience as a dental assistant while working towards registration in their chosen profession. Whatever your situation, the best place to start is by contacting our team or applying for a suitable role so we can understand your goals and guide you through the most appropriate pathway. Apply today!
Can I work while preparing for ADC?
Yes, depending on your current visa conditions and your availability to commit to the hours required by the employer. If you are on a temporary visa, you must ensure that you comply with any work restrictions attached to your visa.
We often receive applications from and place candidates who are preparing for their Australian dentist or dental therapist registration while working in other roles within a dental practice.
Do employers pay recruitment fees?
Recruitment fees are determined on a case-by-case basis and depend on who is engaged as our primary client. Depending on the arrangement, fees may be payable by the employer or the candidate. Any applicable fees will be clearly explained and agreed upon beforehand.
