Associate Dentist – Copper Coast SA | 42% Commission + Relocation Support
Full-Time or Part-Time | Busy Established Books | Sponsorship Considered | No Weekends
What if your next dental role offered busy established books, 42% commission and a coastal lifestyle just minutes from the beach — without the traffic and congestion of city life?
Attention To Dental is recruiting confidentially on behalf of an established, privately owned dental practice on South Australia's beautiful Copper Coast.
This is a genuine opportunity to step into the books of a much-loved associate dentist who is relocating for family reasons. You won't be expected to spend months building a patient base from scratch — there are established patients and busy books ready to transition to the successful dentist.
For the right candidate, the practice is also prepared to offer relocation assistance, contribute towards accommodation for the first three months and consider employer sponsorship.
Why this opportunity is worth considering
A regional move without giving up earning potential
Regional dentistry doesn't have to mean quiet books.
This practice has an established patient base and strong demand, giving the incoming dentist the opportunity to walk into an existing book and begin building their income from the outset.
The practice understands that relocating for the right opportunity is a significant decision. That's why the owner is prepared to discuss additional support with the right candidate who is genuinely interested in making the Copper Coast their longer-term home.
This may include:
The exact package would be discussed individually based on experience, circumstances and longer-term commitment.
Work minutes from the beach
Located on South Australia's beautiful Copper Coast, this is an opportunity to build a rewarding dental career while enjoying a completely different pace of life.
You'll be approximately:
Think shorter commutes, minimal traffic, more affordable regional living, beaches close by and more time outside of work.
The Copper Coast offers beaches, fishing, walking and outdoor activities while still providing the services and amenities of an established regional community.
And when you want the city, Adelaide remains within easy reach for weekends, events and visits.
About the practice
You'll be joining an established three-chair, privately owned practice with a close-knit clinical and support team.
The team includes dentists, an Oral Health Therapist/Hygienist, Dental Assistants, reception staff and practice management support.
The practice provides a broad range of dentistry including:
Who would thrive here?
More than anything, the practice is looking for someone who wants to become a genuine part of the team and potentially the local community.
You'll ideally be:
Applications are welcomed from dentists at different stages of their careers.
Australian dental experience is not essential.
Overseas-trained dentists are encouraged to apply where they hold, or are eligible to obtain, the appropriate AHPRA registration to practise as a dentist in Australia.
For suitable candidates, employer sponsorship may also be considered.
Hours
The practice can accommodate Monday to Friday, with full-time preferred and part-time arrangements considered.
Monday–Thursday: 8:30 am–5:00 pm
Friday: 8:30 am–4:00 pm
There are no weekend, after-hours or overtime expectations.
If a traditional five-day working week isn't what you're looking for, we would still encourage you to speak with us. The practice is open to discussing flexible or condensed arrangements with the right dentist.
Remuneration
42% commission on receipts after laboratory expenses, paid monthly.
For an experienced clinician bringing a strong skill set, there may also be an opportunity to discuss a sliding commission structure or other incentives.
Not sure about relocating? Come and experience it first.
If you're an experienced dentist who is interested in the opportunity but not ready to immediately commit to relocating, we'd still like to hear from you.
The practice may consider an initial locum arrangement, giving the right dentist an opportunity to experience the practice, patient base, team and Copper Coast lifestyle before considering something longer term.
Ready for a sea change without sacrificing your career?
This isn't simply a regional vacancy.
It's an opportunity to walk into established books, earn 42% commission, work with an experienced and stable team, receive potential relocation support and live minutes from the coast.
Whether you're already based in South Australia, considering an interstate move, looking for sponsorship opportunities or simply curious about what regional practice could offer you, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
