A dentist who has got a bachelor's degree from a non-Australian institution needs to pass the skill assessment examination conducted by the Australian Dental Council (ADC) and then needs to register oneself in Dental Board of Australia to practise as a general dentist in Australia or to get a job in public or private sector.
The ADC examination is a screening examination to establish that dentists trained in dental schools which is not formally reviewed and accredited by the ADC, have the necessary competence to practise dentistry in Australia.
Following are the steps, an overseas dentist needs to go through to qualify the ADC examination:
- Initial assessment
- ADC preliminary examination
- ADC practical examination
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
In the initial assessment process the following documents will be assessed by ADC:
- Your professional qualification (bachelor's degree).
- Your work experience.
- Details of your most recent dental registration.
- Good standing stated by registering authority.
You are eligible for initial assessment by Australian Dental Council, if you have a dental degree of your own country or any country which is recognized by the Australian Dental Council.
As a dentist, you can get assessed by ADC at any time of the year by submitting a duly filled initial assessment of professional qualification application form.
Once the application form and supporting documents have been received, you will be assigned an ADC candidate reference number. Once the initial assessment is done in your favour, you may apply for ADC preliminary exam.
