Dental Hygeniest

Dukee · December 2012

Hi guys I just want to share and can give advice also. Me and my wife send the docs to vetassess for skill assessment and got her result yesterday, yung wife ko kasi dentist sya sa pinas at nagkaroon ng job experience for 2 years lang kaso nagka problema at na reject yung pag-assess sa kanya at negative ang naging result as a dental hygeniest, hindi namin alam kung kailangan nya ulit magpa assess sa ibang assessing authority ng australia as a dentist naman. Ako naman ay hiningihan ng vetasses ng supporting docs (COE) ng job experience ko dito sa SG at sana maging okay naman ang akin.

HI Dukee Im just wondering if aware kayo to migrate here as a dentist kelangan muna ng wife mo to pass ADC exam? Kung gusto nya mg exam dito kelangan nya muna mgpa assess sa Australian Dental Council.

Dukee · February 2013

hi gnew nalaman namin late na, na kailangan nga na dumaan muna sa ADC para magpa assess. Dentist ka ba dyan? please advise naman kung ano pa mga kailangan gawin ng wife ko. Thanks!

@Dukee hi.. i think meron isa dito sa forum na nakapag-pa-assess na at approved na ang visa nya.. please check with @sweet_tooth..

@Dukee. Kung mag pa assess ka sa ADC pwede rin kaso daming kailangan gawin. U need to take OELTS, assessment sa ADC, and I think U need to take practical exam, and etc which costs more. Kasi before nagtanong ako sa agent at yun nga sinabi nya kaya we opt to have dental hygienist as nominated occupation.

Dukee · February 2013

@lockcode - nag PM na ako sa kanya at sana makatulong. Salamat
@yangyang - nakapag ielts na yung wife ko, balak na lang nya magpa assess sa ADC pero hindi nya pa alam kung magiging successful pagmagpa assess na sya. Teka yun din ba ang occupation na kinukuha mo sa oz? Salamat.

yep, dentist na po ako ditto Ive been through all of it. Umiyak po ako ng dugo ha ha but I don't want to discourage you that was my journey. First thing visit po nyo ung website ng ADC, I don't know their regulation now but during my time I had my papers assessed then once successful OET/IELTS , then MCQ-SAQ (multiple choice question- short answer question), then clinical exam, that took me three years to complete.

Dukee · March 2013

@gnew123 Umabot ka talaga ng 3 years at yun ba talaga ang requirement para maging dentist dyan? Sa 3 years mo na yan kasama na ba dyan na nag aral ka as full time? Yung wife ko nagkaroon lang sya ng 2 years na experience sa pinas, papasa kaya yun sa ADC for assesment? May ielts na rin sya at okay ang result. Thanks.

gnew123 · March 2013

it took me 3 years to finish all the exam. Not full time, natagalan kc ako sa clinical exam ilang beses ko kinuha, tapos we have to wait like almost 10 months for our exam date each time. Mahirap ang exam nila ditto, swerte pa nga ko naka ilang attempt lang ako.
ako rin 2 yrs lang experience ko nung ngpapa assess. She has to hurry if shes interested, dumadami na supply ng dentist ditto dami na nila graduates, baka tanggalin na nila un sa skilled list.

For medical practitioners like doctors and dentists.. Madugo ang exams kasi very different ang contents and way they present the exams.

My husband is a doctor.. Almost 1 year na preparing for then exam. 3 months full time review in melbourne 4000 aud for the review. 3 months self study. 3000 aud for the amc q .. The written exam. Then maybe god willing he passes the written next month then review again 6000 aud for the clinicals. Then another 3000 aud for the clinicals;)

So we will see where god tAkes us:) the exams in the philippines are chicken feet according to some of his friends who has taken it and failed but will take again. Kasi the reward is worth it... If you just pass the exams.

Even some of our indian friends said, even the australian doctors will have a hard time passing these exams they make foreign doctors/ dentists/ OT take.

It is an investment tht is worth it naman just put your heart, soul and mind to it;)

Tell your wife to find a review school.. Self study alone is not enough. Some of my hubby's friend who reviewed with him and took the exam has passed na but those who didnt review failed.

There is a huge difference in our health systems and test delivery.

Dukee · March 2013

@gnew123 & li_i_ren - Thank you sa mga advice nyo. Nakakatakot naman at mahirap pala ang exam dyan, sige maganda na rin eto na mabigyan ng idea ang wife ko para mapaghandaan na.

gip · March 2013

Dukee · March 2013

@gip kailangan po ang ielts.

bhoyet · September 2014

onehitwonder · November 2015

@Dukee bro, kamusta ang application nyo ng wife mo?

onehitwonder · November 2015

@lock_code2004 sir tanong ko lang, sa assessment ba ng ADC needed na mag IELTS muna or ok lang mag IELTS habang pinaprocess yung assessment?

Dukee · February 2016

@onehitwonder positive ang assessment ng wife ko sa ADC. Ako pa rin ang main applicant. Alam ko kailangan din ng ielts para makadagdag kung kasama sya sa application.

bro, ask ko lng regarding sa assessment ng wife mo sa ADC, anong procedures? pde b mgwork sa AU as Dental Hygienist or Assistant kung wala pang ADC? or ano mgging work n pde kung secondary applicant lng xa? Dentist xa sa pinas pro Hygienist lng sa Kuwait

onehitwonder · June 2016

Nope, kailangan ng ADC inorder to recognise yung qualification and educational attainment ng wife mo.

With regards sa procedures, download mo yung application form sa ADC website. Nandun na rin yung requirements sa last part ng form.

Bro pasensya na ngayon ko lang nabasa eto. Sa ADC website meron naman dun na step kung papano makapagpa assess. Hindi pwede mag work as dental hygienist kasi ayaw ng locals na ang mga foreign dentist na mag apply as DH. Pwede mag aral as DH or ituloy mag aral ulit ng denstistry dito sa AU.

Oh, ok thank you po

Hello! I'm a dentist here in the Philippines. I'm moving to Aus late this year or early next year on a Fiance visa and my fiance wants me to pursue dentistry there. I'm a bit hesistant because everyone says its difficult and my friend who works as a dental assistant in Sydney says wala pa daw sya kakilalang dentist in Ph na pumasa as dentist in Aus. And considering mahal din yung fees, natakot lalo ako. Does anyone know if sa clinical exams, if you cant pass the first time, can you take another try and may bayad ba ulit? Can anyone share their experience if any. Thank you!

Wala pa rin kami naririnig dito na pumasa sa exam, sinasuggest na mag aral na lang kaso hindi sinasabi ng mga university kung ilang years pa ang kailangan na tapusin base sa units na natapos na sa pinas. Hindi iniincourage dito sa Brisbane na mag apply as dental hygeniest/ assistant ang mga foreign dentist at kung maofferan man eh ang haba ng working hours at maliit lang ng salary.

Thanks for the response @Dukee ! So yung wife mo did not pursue dentistry anymore? Pero you have any idea ba if mag aral ng dental hygienist course, worth it kaya yung salary later on? Mahal din kasi ng tuition.

Dukee · May 2020

@chingisabel Hindi na muna siguro kasi mukhang malabo at walang units na binigay ang Uni kung ilang years pa ang kailangan tapusin, pero sa tingin namin na parang mahaba pa nga ang aaralin. Ang naka usap naman ni wife na dentist dito na sinaggest na mag aral ng dentistry at wag mag dental hygienist lalo pa na hindi naman ganun kalaki salary ng DH.
