Are you a recent Graduate Oral Health Therapist or Hygienist looking to start your career? Join us at Karratha Dental Care and you'll wonder why you didn't sooner!

The jump from university to real practice can feel overwhelming.

Our program is designed to support that transition - helping you build confidence, capability, and independence at the right pace.

Most importantly, you’ll actually practice across your full scope - not just observe or repeat limited procedures. Whether you're interested in working in prevention, restorative, aged care or oral health promotion, you'll be backed by experienced mentors and a learning journey tailored to you.

This 12-month program has been developed to meet a growing need across our network, but also the broader industry, to support, retain and develop talented OHTs.
