What You Can Expect

Support that suits your experience

New graduates can access mentoring and guidance as they transition into practice and develop their clinical confidence. Experienced dentists can expect a collaborative working environment that respects their skills, clinical judgement and professional independence.

A flexible approach to working hours

Our preference is for a full-time associate, but we're happy to discuss a part-time start for the right person, with the opportunity to build towards full-time hours by mid-2027. We'll work with you to explore an arrangement that suits both you and the practice.

An established practice, with room to develop

You'll have a mix of existing patients and opportunities to grow your patient base. The role offers broad general dentistry, with scope to pursue additional clinical interests in line with your experience and professional goals.

A team-oriented working environment

We value good communication, mutual respect and a shared commitment to patient care. We want our dentists to feel part of the team, with the support to do their best work and the autonomy to practise professionally.

The Sunshine Coast lifestyle

Buderim offers the opportunity to combine a rewarding dental career with the lifestyle the Sunshine Coast is known for. With its coastal surroundings, outdoor activities and established local community, it's an appealing place to live and work.

Who We're Looking For

We're interested in a dentist who values patient care, communicates well and wants to contribute positively to a team.

You’ll need to hold, or be eligible to obtain, registration with the Dental Board of Australia and be committed to practising safely, ethically and professionally.

Whether you're a new graduate looking for a supported start or an experienced dentist ready for a change, we’d welcome a conversation.

Let's talk
