Dental Receptionist (Part‑Time) – Ashgrove, 3‑Chair Practice

We are a 3‑chair private dental practice in Ashgrove, providing all facets of dentistry including dental implants, cosmetic dentistry and Invisalign. We're looking for a part‑time Dental Receptionist to join our friendly, well‑organised team, with occasional support to the clinical team as needed.

Why you'll love working with us

- Small, supportive team that genuinely invests time into each other.

- Contemporary digital workflows including CEREC, Trios scanner and Dental4Windows practice management software.

- Exposure to a wide range of treatments including general, cosmetic and implant dentistry.

- Calm, friendly environment where you're valued as part of the team.

About the role

Reception (primary focus)

- Be the first point of contact: welcoming patients, answering phones, responding to emails and managing enquiries.

- Schedule and confirm appointments, optimising the diary across multiple clinicians.

- Process payments, prepare invoices and manage health fund claims using Dental4Windows.

- Maintain accurate patient records, consent forms and documentation in line with privacy and infection‑control policies.

- Handle basic admin tasks: stock ordering for reception, mail, filing, and supporting day‑to‑day practice operations.

Clinical support (secondary)





- Assist with sterilisation and infection‑control processes, instrument processing and room turnover when required.

- Provide occasional chairside assistance across general, restorative, cosmetic and implant procedures as needed.

- Support with basic clinical admin and stock duties to keep the practice running smoothly.

About you

- Minimum 1–2 years' experience in a dental reception role; dental assisting experience is an advantage.

- Confident, warm communicator who enjoys small team environments and delivering excellent patient service.

- Strong organisational skills with high attention to detail and ability to multitask in a busy practice.

- Experience with Dental4Windows is highly regarded; familiarity with CEREC, intraoral scanners or other dental software is a bonus.

- Formal dental assistant certification (Cert III/IV) is preferred but not essential.

- Australian permanent residency or citizenship required.

Position details

- Part‑time: 2–3 days per week (flexible scheduling based on practice needs and your availability).

- Hours: Patients seen from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm; team start time 7:45 am.

- Competitive remuneration based on experience.
