Assessment for Dental Hygenist/Dentist
Hello everybody
I need to avail of the extra 5 points against qualification of spouse who is a dentist with over 10 years of overseas professional experience. But the problem is, assessment by the Australian Dental Council (ADC) is quite a lengthy process and costly too. Can a dentist go in for assessment at a lower level by Vetasse as a Dental Hygienist, and get those points. Any advice please.
Thanx in anticipation.

Not quite sure why you've jumped on this thread rather than starting your own but your spouse needs to be assessed for their job description. If they are a Dentist then they have to be assessed by the ADC. If they're a Hygienist and fulfill the job criteria for Hygienest then they have to be assessed by VETASSESS.

You're excused! I'm watching beautiful shots of the British countryside in Escape to the Country so I'm getting distracted constantly
