Charles Sturt University's dental science graduates contribute to combating the chronic shortage of dental and oral health workers Australia-wide. Once you're registered as a dentist, your job prospects are excellent. Most dentistry students know if they have a graduate position by December of their final year.
Employment opportunities exist in general or specialist dental practice, public sector dental health, the Australian defence forces (Army, Navy or Air Force), hospital dental clinics, education and research. Starting salaries for dentists are among the highest graduate starting salaries nationally.
While our dental science graduates can travel the world and work almost anywhere, they are often found at the heart of rural and regional communities
After registration, you could undertake further study to become qualified in orthodontics, paediatric dentistry, periodontics, endodontics, implantology or prosthodontics programs at master's level, or biomedical or dental science research at doctorate level.
