ADC Skill Assessment Process

1. Eligibility and Documentation:
   • Applicants must provide certified copies of their educational qualifications, transcripts, and proof of identity. This includes a certified color passport-sized photograph, a current passport, birth certificate, and citizenship certificate if applicable
2. Assessment Types:
   • The ADC conducts two types of assessments:
     • Educational Background and Qualifications: This involves evaluating the applicant's educational background, qualifications, work experience, and professional standing.
     • Written and Practical Examinations: This includes assessing the applicant's clinical knowledge, clinical judgment, clinical skills, attitudes, and ethics
3. Standards and Criteria:
   • The ADC has specific standards that apply to the assessments. These include:
     • Identity and Authority to Act: Establishing the applicant's identity and authority for another person to act on their behalf if desired.
     • Confirmation of Education and Training: Demonstrating that the applicant has undertaken the required education and training comparable to the nationally agreed minimal education standard for the relevant dental practitioner in Australia
4. Examination Components:
   • The written examination assesses clinical knowledge and judgment.
   • The practical examination evaluates clinical skills, attitudes, and ethics through hands-on tasks
5. Outcome and Certification:
   • Successful candidates receive a certificate from the ADC, which is necessary for applying for registration with the relevant State/Territory Dental Registration Board in Australia

This process ensures that overseas trained dentists meet the necessary standards to practice safely and effectively in Australia. For more detailed information, candidates should refer to the ADC's official guidelines and resources.
