to the lush rainforests of Northern Queensland.

fits three times into one of the smaller States, Victoria)
but with a population of only 20 million people spread
mainly along the coastal perimeter.
- Most
Australians are English speaking but
very cosmopolitan in culture and custom as a result
of European and Asian migration.

boasts superb sandy beaches, coastal hugging, modern
vibrant cities, rainforests, wetlands, spectacular waterfalls,
snow covered mountains and tropical islands in the North.

in Southern Australia four seasons are experienced.

summers (32-35 degree Celsius) and warm dry winters.

| Dentistry
in Australia |
-
Two streams of dentistry co-exist in Australia, private
practice and government funded dental services, the
former, offer all clinical treatment to patients of
all age groups who pay for the full cost of service
provision, or who are privately insured and recoup part
of the costs. Private practitioners in general
would treat 10-20 patients per 8 hour day.
- Dental
assistants are in short supply in Australia and
as a result of this status, overseas clinical
personnel are in great demand.
- Dental
recruiting agencies welcome the working visa dental
population and are pleased to introduce applicants
to the Australian dental market. It
is evident that dental job-seekers
are well received in both the private and government
sectors.
