THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Associate Dentist to join a long-established private practice in Murwillumbah, NSW, just 45-60 minutes from the Gold Coast.
With the Gold Coast becoming more competitive and saturated with dental practices, Murwillumbah offers strong patient demand, high-value cases and busy books.
Here, you'll step into a clinic with a loyal patient base, strong new patient demand and a track record of high billings.
You'll practise in a thriving regional hub with modern technology and a loyal patient base, while still enjoying the lifestyle of living on the Gold Coast.
This role is for 4 or 5 days per week and ideal for a dentist seeking to do a wide scope and volume of work.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
* Step into busy books: Replacing an outgoing Associate who has full books and is relocating. And you'll practise in an area with less competition and more demand for complex dentistry
* New patient load in addition to existing patient base: This is a 30-year-old practice with an established patient base. Due to a high reputation combined with recently launched marketing, new patient volumes have more than doubled in the last few months – the majority of which is seen by the Associate
* Best of both worlds: Live in the Gold Coast while practising in Murwillumbah – regional dentistry with city lifestyle.
* Diverse clinical scope: The practice provides services including implants, All-on-X, fixed orthodontics, clear aligners, oral surgery, endodontics, cosmetic, general dentistry and everything in between – you'll have autonomy to practice the areas you choose and will be supported
* Mentorship available: Work with an experienced Principal Dentist who can provide support in areas such as implants, orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry
* Modern technology: CBCT, Trios scanners, laser, 3D printer, with potential investment in CEREC if desired
* Strong patient flow: Consistent 50–60 new patients per month thanks to effective marketing and a growing local population
* Quality-focused practice: No preferred provider agreements and a strong fee schedule
* Great location: Murwillumbah offers a balance of regional lifestyle and coastal convenience – only 30 minutes to Tweed Heads, 45 minutes to Byron Bay and 45–60 minutes to the Gold Coast.

ABOUT THE PRACTICE
This two-chair private practice has been serving the community for over 30 years, with the current owner in place for 15 years.
