Job description

Oral Health Therapists have a vital role to play in our success. Our Graduate Program is designed to support you as you transition into clinical practice, helping you build the skills, confidence and independence you need to take on key dental procedures and deliver great patient care.

Oral Health Therapists here are very much in demand, so you can expect a busy and rewarding workload, with the support and guidance you need as you develop in your career. Our well-managed appointment system means you’ll have the time you need to build your confidence, develop your clinical skills and deliver brilliant patient care.

Looking for the perfect start to your dental career?

Starting out can feel like a big leap, from simulation labs to real patients. This program is designed to support you through that transition, helping you build confidence, capability and independence at the right pace. You won’t be left to figure it out alone.

Launched in 2023, our program has already supported dozens of early-career clinicians to grow into independent practitioners across metro, regional and remote communities. We’ve seen firsthand how structure, mentorship and opportunity can shape the kind of clinician, and career, you want to become.

What you’ll gain here:

• Structured 6- or 12-month pathway: build your skills step-by-step
• Competitive salary package and a sign-on bonus: start earning while still learning
• Ongoing mentorship: get guidance and support from experienced clinicians
• CPD workshops and events: learn practical skills throughout the year
• Clinical and professional development webinars
• Case study project: build confidence treating and presenting on real cases
• National clinical network: be part of a connected, supportive dental community

Who are we looking for?

This program is for you if you:

• Are a final-year student or recent graduate (Class of 2026)
• Want structured support in your first year
• Are motivated to grow into an independent clinician
• Value mentorship, teamwork and continuous learning
