Kangabok Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Our friends in the UK encountered a major hick-up with their current workpermit which seems to be a technical mistake made by the tax dept; however to make it short, he had to stop practice immediately as his current workpermit is not valid due to that and is now looking at all options : Europe, Ireland, NZ and Australia.He is a very experienced and excellent dentist (I can speak of personal experience!) with wonderfull "chairside" manners and is very committed to his work; he has UK registration and practiced in the UK for the past 4 years up to January 2010 when all of this happened. He is busy packing up there and in the meanwhile urgently searching for a new job.Please pm me if anybody know of any position available in Australia.

Kangabok Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 On my friend's behalf and from me, a BIG thank you to all. He is awaiting final clarification end of this week re his options (if any!) in the UK, and if it is a definite no, he will start to look at all other options. They also bought a house in the UK, so he is trying all the stops to stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikej Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 SAffer dentists need to do a very difficult 7 day exam before they can practice in Australia, unless they are sponsored by one of the state governments. In this case they can work immediately under supervision until they do the exam at a later stage.There is a type of loop hole where dentists can go to NZ and work there without an exam and after a 2 or 3 years they will be accepted in Australia without the exam.
