Oral Health Therapist

Join a supportive, values-driven team where you'll enjoy autonomy, an established adult patient base, and the lifestyle benefits of living in beautiful Mackay.

Are you an Oral Health Therapist who wants to be valued, trusted, and given the freedom to practice at the top of your scope?

If you're looking for a role where you can build meaningful relationships with patients, work alongside supportive dentists, and genuinely influence the future of oral healthcare within a growing practice, we'd love to hear from you.

Plaza Dental is seeking an AHPRA-registered Oral Health Therapist to join our team in beautiful Mackay, North Queensland.

Why This Role Is Different

Unlike many OHT positions that are heavily focused on children, this role offers the opportunity to work with a large and established patient base consisting primarily of adults who genuinely value preventative care and long-term oral health.

We haven't had an OHT in our practice for several years, which means you'll have a unique opportunity to help shape and develop this service from the ground up. You'll enjoy the autonomy to make your mark while being supported by a collaborative and experienced dental team.

This is a role for someone who wants more than just a chair and a schedule. It's an opportunity to influence systems, improve patient outcomes, and become an integral part of a practice with exciting plans for the future.

What You'll Enjoy

✅ Primarily adult patient care

✅ Professional autonomy and clinical independence

✅ Supportive dentists who respect and value your expertise

✅ The opportunity to help build and grow an OHT-led service

✅ Monday to Friday practice with no weekend work

✅ No one works more than a nine-day fortnight

✅ A positive, team-focused culture where people genuinely enjoy coming to work

✅ Opportunities for professional growth and development
