THE OPPORTUNITY
We're recruiting an Associate Dentist to join a well-established, highly regarded private practice in Ingham, just over an hour from Townsville. This is a busy practice on the main shopping strip, where you'll step straight into established patient books, taking over from a dentist who is relocating.
With strong patient demand and limited local competition, this role offers genuine clinical variety and the opportunity to do more dentistry. You'll practise with full clinical autonomy in a modern, well-run environment, supported by a loyal patient base and a collaborative ownership group.
You'll also be part of a broader network, with access to support, mentorship and case discussion from experienced clinicians across the group's Townsville practices, led by a highly experienced Principal who is passionate about developing his team.
This role is ideal for a dentist seeking stability, scope, and meaningful community impact, without the pressures of a saturated metro market.
What's in it for you?
* Immediate full books: Step into an established, busy schedule from day one
* Broad clinical scope: Implants, oral surgery, aligners, RCT, restorative, cosmetic and general dentistry – with freedom to focus on your areas of interest
* Clinical autonomy: Diagnose, treatment plan and deliver care your way
* Supportive culture: Friendly, no-politics environment with strong team values
* Collegial network: Ongoing collaboration and case discussions with sister practices in Townsville (in-person, online and WhatsApp)
* Modern technology: Intra-oral cameras, scanners, rotary endo and CBCT
* Mentorship available: Guidance from a highly experienced group Principal when desired
* Relocation assistance: May be available for the right candidate
