Australia for Dentists
Australia offers a clear, nationally standardised pathway for internationally trained dentists through the Australian Dental Council (ADC) assessment process. There is no mandatory Australian dental degree or bridging programme. The process has three stages: Initial Assessment, Written Examination, and Practical Examination. After passing all stages, candidates apply for registration with the Dental Board of Australia through AHPRA.
