Qualification Recognition
If you hold a dental degree from the UK and are registered with the General Dental Council (GDC), you’re in a strong position. Australia recognises UK dental qualifications under the Competent Authority Pathway, which fast-tracks your registration process.
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) oversees dental registration. You’ll need general registration before applying for Dentist jobs in Australia.
Key documents required:
Registration can take several months, so it’s best to apply early.
Australia offers several visa options for dentists, many of which provide pathways to permanent residency. The ANZSCO code for dentists is 252312, and dentistry appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)—a major advantage if you’re pursuing Dentist jobs in Australia.
Popular visa types include:
Once your registration and visa are in progress, it’s time to actively seek employment. There are numerous opportunities for UK-trained dentists, from urban practices to rural clinics in high demand.
Where to Look:

Thank you!
I know Alex from both sides of his recruitment activities. Six months ago he contacted me regarding my current position in a polite and very informative way. He had clear communication and a very short response time. Recently, I worked with him together for an open position in my team and also this process was clear, transparent and result-driven. In less than a month we were able to find a very good candidate and we are looking forward to work with him in the future.
Robert hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren als fester Ansprechpartner bei der Besetzung unser Vakanzen etabliert. Ich habe stets das Gefühl, Robert setzt sich mit den Anforderungen der MEDTRON AG intensiv auseinander und versteht auf Anhieb, welche Art von Verstärkung wir im Team benötigen, um weiterhin erfolgreich arbeiten zu können. Er hat ein echtes Recruiting-Talent und ein gutes Gespür für unsere Branche, worauf ich gerne regelmäßig zurückgreife. Außerdem schätze ich seine immerwährend freundliche Art, welche unsere Zusammenarbeit positiv beeinflusst.

It’s been a pleasure working through the recruitment process with David. From building a picture of what the business was looking for right through to making sure contracts were signed. David has been proactive in all aspects of process and communication. I look forward to our next project together. Many Thanks. Jas
I am pleased to highly recommend Alex Male. He has an extensive experience in recruiting professionals in Life Science sector. Alex possesses deep expertise that enables them to not only understand the specific requirements of the field but also identify candidates who are both technically and culturally a perfect fit for the companies they work with.
Alex excels at building long-term relationships with candidates and clients, grounded in trust and excellent advisory skills. Their strategic approach to talent acquisition ensures that even for highly specialized and difficult-to-fill positions, the right talent is always found.
I have worked with David on a number of roles and on every occasion he has provided some great candidates which have been successful in securing roles. David is fantastic at listening and understanding what I was looking for in a candidate and his communication is excellent throughout the process. I would fully recommend David in either helping you find the right candidate or right role and he will be one of the first people I contact should I need recruitment services again in the near future.
I have worked with David Thomas from Prospect Health for a number years.
He has always been incredibly successful in sourcing medical device professionals for Stryker. He understands our business ethos, the market and the demands of the job really well. He is incredibly diligent and thorough in his approach, and is always available to assist me. We always receive relevant candidates from Prospect and I don’t have to waste time on people who don’t fit the required brief.
I would highly recommend David to any client looking to find Professional Candidates to fill their vacancies.
I recently worked with David on a recruitment assignment for a critical and key leadership position.
David had never worked with us before, and our specific industry was new to him. But thanks to his business acumen and true listening skills, he was very quick in understanding our context and the requirements of the role.
Within just 2 weeks after the intake meeting, David presented first profiles that were spot on, which shows strong sourcing skills.
What I appreciated about David as well was his transparent and honest communication. He handles both clients and candidates as partners. He makes sure there is regular exchange and update with all stakeholders. What stands out is how strong a link he is between candidates and the client, making the assignment a smooth and positive experience for all, and candidates even highlighted this to me.
Besides his professionalism, availability and flexibility, David has a good sense of humour and a positive mindset, which made working with him even nicer. I would definitely recommend working with David!
In a world where HR Professionals are often inundated with Recruitment organisations who seek to work with you and claim they offer so much more than the competition it is so refreshing to find a truly bespoke and personal approach David & all those at Prospect take the time to really understand the company, the role and the person specs needs to fill the vacancy, its not a rush approach, but delivers results in an timely manner, When David refers a candidate I guarantee you will wish to meet/interview the candidate. David is honest and offers both the company and importantly the candidate the highest level of service and remains a valued partner to recruitment at Rocket Medical.
I worked with David recently, whilst I was delivering a management development programme for Prospect Health.
David was engaging, insightful and was always ready to positively contribute to the group discussion. He is clearly a passionate and professional leader and genuinely has a desire to succeed and develop himself. I can easily see that David delivers the same level of passion and knowledge to his clients, candidates and members of his team.
He is a genuine individual and acts with a great deal of integrity. I would highly recommend David to anyone who is looking for a recruitment leader and specialist in his market.
David is a real credit to the recruitment industry. A real pleasure for anyone lucky enough to work with him. I can’t thank or recommend him enough !
I’ve worked with David for a number of years now. He has been instrumental in helping me build my team, finding top talent in both the Sports Medicine and Ortho Power Tools field.
I would always recommend him.
David has been extremely helpful and supportive during my experience of being recruited. He has offered motivational and insightful advice and guidance through every step of the process. He has been incredibly approachable and accessible, and goes the extra mile to make sure you feel confident, informed and assured. David has been personable and friendly in all interactions which has made the process enjoyable and alleviated a lot of the stress and worries associated with interviewing etc.
It has been a pleasure working with David on two hires recently. He took the time to understand our business, was pro active in sourcing the best candidates and communicated effectively throughout the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and will be working with him again in the future. Thanks David!
David Thomas has been working effectively to support recruitment of sales people in my region for the last two years. David works hard to find the best candidates and also to screen them prior to interview. This saves interview time and ensures that the recruitment process is efficient.
David has a solid understanding of our business and the characteristics of candidates that will succeed working in our business. David also maintains contact with the candidate throughout the recruitment process to ensure that they are engaged in the process and suitably prepared for each stage.
We have now recruited several candidates on the south coast from David who have gone on to be successful additions to our organisation
I worked with Alex for several positions in the areas of sales and process development and can absolutely recommend him both personally and as a recruiting specialist. Our cooperation is always on an eye-to-eye level. The presentation of the candidates is super clear and makes it very easy for us to get a complete impression of the candidate.
Alex also reacts very quickly to changes in requirements. You can tell that Alex really wants to find the best candidate for the company. He has good industry knowledge, a large professional network and in-depth market knowledge. He speaks very good German, which is also very well appreciated by the candidates he approaches.
I am looking forward to our further cooperation! 🙂
In my 1st year at Stryker, I have worked almost constantly with David as a supplier. David has proved to be a valued supplier through consistent performance, collaboration and though his honest and down to earth approach. It has enabled a strong relationship focused on the same objectives.
David’s honesty has driven some good outcomes, and in more challenging situations has enabled us to get to the best possible outcome.
He is a high performing and highly valued supplier.
Alex Male is truly the most professional, reliable, honest, and nicest recruiter I have ever worked with. His organization of the candidate process is exemplary – he always keeps track and you don’t have to worry about anything yourself, other than confirming interviews or appointments that Alex has already qualified with the candidates in advance. When Alex recommends someone to me, he does so with conviction. If not, he honestly provides feedback on the candidate’s weaknesses. We could always fully rely on his judgment, which is not a given in the industry! Alex even filled positions in new and specialized areas where he had to familiarize himself and get into the subject matter – a great achievement! We were able to fill numerous positions quickly with Alex’s help last year.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex during my interview process at BRAND, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional recruiter. From the very beginning, Alex was attentive, supportive, and highly professional. He ensured that I was well-prepared for each stage of the interview process and was always available to answer any questions or provide guidance. His communication was clear and timely, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Thanks to Alex’s dedication and expertise, I felt confident and well-supported throughout my journey. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a top-notch recruiter who truly cares about the success of his candidates.
We have asked Alex to help us with recruitment in Germany, UK and the Netherlands. I highly appreciated working with Alex. He was very eager to understand the individual positions and the company culture in order to send matching profiles. Even with complicated position, Alex came up with good profiles. His way of working is very transparent and honest, trying to find a good match instead of “just selling a random profile”.
Alex is polite, easy to talk to (in German and English) and always good for a joke. Looking forward to working with you in the future Alex!
