Dental Hygienist / Oral Health Therapist | $65–$75/hr + Super | New Surgery, Full Book Day One | Curtin ACT
My Dental Curtin is an established, principal-owned practice at the Curtin shops.
Until now the principal has personally done every scale, clean and recall across a large, loyal patient base.
That ends when you arrive.
We are opening our second surgery, brand recent and fully equipped, and building the hygiene column around you.
The offer
- $65 to $75 per hour plus 12% super, based on experience.
New graduates considered with structured mentorship from the principal.
- 3 to 4 days per week, roster shaped with you.
- AHPRA registration and radiation licence renewal costs covered annually, plus CPD support.
- Dedicated DA support in surgery.
Why this is not another corporate hygiene job
- A full recall book from day one, handed over from the principal, not built from cold.
- Your own brand-new surgery: Kavo E50 chair, Planmeca imaging, never used before you.
- Full scope respected.
OHTs use their restorative and paediatric scope in a genuine family suburb.
No scale-and-clean conveyor work.
- Appointment lengths set clinically,



not by a corporate spreadsheet.
- Small, stable team: principal dentist, front desk lead, treatment coordinator.
What you will do
- Run the hygiene and perio maintenance column as its founding clinician.
- Recalls, scaling, prophylaxis, fluoride and tailored OHI.
- Perio charting and co-management with the principal, same-day handover of findings.
- For OHTs: restorative and paediatric care within your scope.
- Help shape the systems of a column built properly from day one.
What we need
- Current AHPRA registration as a Dental Hygienist or Oral Health Therapist.
- ACT radiation licence or eligibility to obtain one.
- ACT Working with Vulnerable People registration.
- Gentle hands, sharp perio eyes, warm manner with anxious patients.
