Assessing Authority

Australian Dental Council (ADC)

Pathway for Overseas Dentists

Overseas-qualified dentists must pass the ADC examination (written and clinical) or complete an approved bridging program before they can register with AHPRA and practise in Australia. The ADC exam is rigorous — many candidates take preparation courses first. Once registered, you can work anywhere in Australia.

Visa Options

Dentists can apply through subclass 189 (Skilled Independent), 190 (State Nominated), or employer-sponsored pathways. Regional areas actively recruit dentists and often offer faster sponsorship. Some dental practices assist with relocation costs.

Regional Opportunities

Australia has a significant shortage of dentists in regional and rural areas. Regional positions often come with higher salaries, bonuses, and additional visa points. Many dentists use regional pathways (491/494) as a faster route to permanent residency.
