ADC Exam Preparation Course: Become a Registered Dentist in Australia
If you wish to practice dentistry in Australia as an internationally trained dentist, you cannot use your home country’s license directly. You must first be assessed and registered by the Australian Dental Council (ADC), which ensures all practitioners meet Australia’s standards of quality, safety, and patient care.
The ADC licensing process involves a written examination and a practical examination (OSCE) to test both your theoretical knowledge and clinical skills. Only after passing these assessments can you apply for professional registration and begin practicing legally in Australia.
ProHealth supports you throughout your entire ADC journey — from document assessment to exam preparation and skills coaching — making the path to a successful dental career in Australia much smoother.
