Assessment Requirements

Educational Requirements

Hold a degree or diploma equivalent to at least four years of full-time general dentistry qualifications recognized in Australia.
If your qualifications are from a country/region not listed above or not on the recognized list, you need to submit supporting documents such as your degree certificate, academic transcripts, internship certificate (if your program included an internship), etc., during the ADC's Initial Assessment stage.

Work Experience Requirements

Submit registration or practice history (e.g., proof of previous registration or licensure as a dentist).
Provide proof of work experience (work history as a dentist after registration).
Additionally, you need to provide a "Letter of Good Standing" or similar proof of good professional conduct, sent directly to the ADC by your current or most recent dental regulatory authority where you are/were registered or licensed.

Language Requirements

If your supporting documents were not issued in English, official English translations must be provided.
Passport photo identification, proof of name change, and other identity verification requirements must be clear and accurate. Language test score standards (such as IELTS, etc.) are not explicitly listed as a mandatory part of the ADC process under the "Skills Assessment Only" pathway; however, immigration visa categories may have language requirements.

Time: Approximately 8 weeks to complete the "Skills Assessment Only" evaluation. If including written + practical exams, each exam stage has an application period + exam period + waiting for results, potentially totaling several months (e.g., each stage for written and practical exams might take 4-7 months)
Cost (Skills Assessment Application Fee): AUD $647 (for applying for Skills Assessment Only or Registration + Skills Assessment)
Validity of the skills assessment result: 3 years from the date of issue. If the assessment expires and needs to be reused, an administrative fee may be required.
