Australian Dental Registration Boards

From 01 July 2010, a new national registration scheme for dentists operates across Australia, with a new national Dental Board of Australia replacing State and Territory Dental Boards. The Dental Board of Australia is supported operationally by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), which manages the registration processes for health practitioners and students around Australia. The national scheme is operating in all States and Territories except Western Australia (where it will become operational on 18 October 2010). Contact details are shown below.
