PUBLIC SECTOR DENTAL WORKFORCE SCHEME The Public Sector Dental Workforce Scheme (PSDWS), has been introduced to help alleviate workforce shortages in the public sector, particularly in rural and remote areas. Under this scheme graduates from some dental programs in Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa and the US are eligible to participate. Those eligible will be granted an exemption from the ADC Preliminary Examination and a form of restricted registration to enable them to practise in the public sector for a period up to 3 years during which time the ADC Final Examination must be undertaken. Those wishing to participate should contact the Oral Health Division
of the Health Department of the State or Territory in which they wish
to practice for further information. Contact details are:
Please note that the implementation of this scheme may vary in some
details from state to state. AUSTRALIAN DENTAL COUNCIL REQUIREMENTS PSDWS candidates have been granted exemption from the ADC’s Preliminary Examination and are required to undertake, and successfully complete, the Final Clinical Examination within three years of their participation in the Scheme. Candidates should be aware of the requirements to be met before a candidate is allocated a place in the ADC’s Final Clinical Examination.
ASSESSMENT Candidates applying to the ADC for examination under the PSDWS will be assessed by the ADC. A fee applies. Candidates will be advised, in writing, of the outcome. Candidates should allow 4 to 6 weeks for this assessment as applications are processed in order of receipt.
OET Candidates applying for a place in the Final Clinical Examination must have completed the OET, and passed at the required level, before applying for the examination. Applications cannot be accepted unless proof is provided with the application. The ADC website provides links to the CAE OET.
FEES Fees must accompany all applications for assessment. Fees, or an official letter form the State or Territory, accepting responsibility for the fee, must accompany applications for the Final Clinical Examination. Candidates should read the ADC information about the examinations – closing dates, withdrawal, priority system and scheduling of examinations.
