Applying for Registration as a Dental Therapist
For holders of prescribed qualifications
New Zealand qualified applicants
If you hold a prescribed qualification (other than the Dental Council Dental Therapy
Registration Examination (NZDTREX)), that has been completed in New Zealand AND you are applying for registration after 31 March in the year
following your graduation please contact the Dental Council Secretariat on (04) 499 4820 or by email at inquiries@dcnz.org.nz for the required registration form. Please note that, you will be required to
provide three professional references (using Form R001) from referees who are able
to comment on your clinical abilities.
Holders of overseas prescribed qualifications
If you hold a prescribed qualification that has been completed outside of New Zealand you
need to firstly apply for eligibility to register. To do so you need to complete Form ELIG005 and
send this application with the required fees and documentation to the Dental Council. In addition, you are
required to provide three professional references (using Form R001) from referees who are
able to comment on your clinical abilities and a completed Dental Therapy Self Assessment
form. Overseas-trained practitioners are also required to read the New Zealand Conditions of Practice
Resource Book and attest that they have done so.
The Dental Council will consider your application on an individual basis. If the Council is satisfied that you are eligible to apply for
registration you will be issued with an eligibility letter, stating that you are eligible to apply for registration. To apply for registration
you are required to complete Form REG002, which will be sent to you with your eligibility letter.
The correct fees must accompany your applications. Please refer to the fees schedule for the current fees.
