Royal Australian Navy - Dentist (Rolling Intake)

Your role:

As a Navy Dentist you'll provide the full range of dental treatments to Defence personnel at no cost to the patient, so treatment plans never have to be compromised. As a leader, you'll also be responsible for the welfare and administration of the sailors under your command who make up your staff.

You'll be the type of person who works well in a team environment and is not averse to moving around the country and occasionally abroad, sometimes at short notice. Your standards will be high and your work ethic strong.

The facilities you'll work in will range from large multi-dentist surgeries offering the full range of general and specialist dental services, to single Dental Officer clinics at a base or in a ship. All are modern and fully equipped and you'll be supported by well-trained dental and clerical staff.

The opportunities for career progression in the Navy are based on clinical and management competency levels, and you may be given the opportunity for specialist postgraduate training.

Life in the Navy:

A career in the Navy is a challenging and highly rewarding working environment that comes with good work/life balance, competitive salary and skills for life. You can expect to feel a unique sense of accomplishment and pride from serving and protecting our country and helping to keep our vast coastlines safe.

Life in the Navy is anything but mundane. You'll enjoy varied lifestyles, rewarding careers, opportunities to travel, and excellent social and fitness facilities, free medical and dental; all in a dynamic and fulfilling working environment.

Don't worry, it's not all life at sea—there's more to the Navy than ships, submarines and helicopters. Some days, you might be exploring exciting new countries with your fellow crewmates. Other days, you could be stationed locally not too far from home.

Salary:

Upon completion of your initial military and initial employment training, you'll enjoy a competitive starting salary package from $107,000including service and uniform allowances, as well as a Maritime Allowance (if applicable).

In addition to your salary, you will receive generous superannuation, housing subsidies and free medical and dental care.
