Overseas Trained Oral Health Practitioners
Under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCAA) the Dental Council may register an applicant within a scope of
practice if the applicant:
- is fit for registration
- has the qualifications that are prescribed for that scope of practice, and
- is competent to practise within that scope of practice
The HPCAA allows the Council to require an applicant to take and pass an examination or assessment that is set or recognised by the
Council. The reason for this is that the Council needs to be satisfied that the applicant is both competent to practise in the
scope of practice they have applied for, and is able to communicate in, and comprehend, English.
To find out more about the examinations available for overseas trained practitioners who wish to apply for registration in New
Zealand, click on the Examinations tab to the left (or click on this link).
