Dental Hygienist / Oral Health Therapist | $65–$75/hr + Super | Recent 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 new and fully equipped, and building the hygiene column around you.
The offer
$65 to $75 per hour plus 12% super, based on experience.
Current 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, reliable 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.
How to apply
Email with your CV and a short note on how you approach a nervous patient presenting with years of neglected perio.
Subject line: Hygiene Column, your name.
Applications without the note will not be shortlisted.
