THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Associate Dentist to join a long-established private practice in Murwillumbah, NSW, just 45-60 minutes from the Gold Coast.
With the Gold Coast becoming more competitive and saturated with dental practices, Murwillumbah offers strong patient demand, high-value cases and busy books.
Here, you'll step into a clinic with a loyal patient base, strong new patient demand and a track record of high billings.
You'll practise in a thriving regional hub with modern technology and a loyal patient base, while still enjoying the lifestyle of living on the Gold Coast.
This role is for 4 or 5 days per week and ideal for a dentist seeking to do a wide scope and volume of work.
-
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
- Step into busy books: Replacing an outgoing Associate who has full books and is relocating. And you'll practise in an area with less competition and more demand for complex dentistry
- New patient load in addition to existing patient base: This is a 30-year-old practice with an established patient base. Due to a high reputation combined with recently launched marketing, new patient volumes have more than doubled in the last few months – the majority of which is seen by the Associate
- Best of both worlds: Live in the Gold Coast while practising in Murwillumbah – regional dentistry with city lifestyle.
- Diverse clinical scope: The practice provides services including implants, All-on-X, fixed orthodontics, clear aligners, oral surgery, endodontics, cosmetic, general dentistry and everything in between – you'll have autonomy to practice the areas you choose and will be supported
- Mentorship available: Work with an experienced Principal Dentist who can provide support in areas such as implants, orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry
- Modern technology: CBCT, Trios scanners, laser, 3D printer, with potential investment in CEREC if desired
- Strong patient flow: Consistent 50–60 new patients per month thanks to effective marketing and a growing local population
- Quality-focused practice: No preferred provider agreements and a strong fee schedule
- Great location: Murwillumbah offers a balance of regional lifestyle and coastal convenience – only 30 minutes to Tweed Heads, 45 minutes to Byron Bay and 45–60 minutes to the Gold Coast.

ABOUT THE PRACTICE
This two-chair private practice has been serving the community for over 30 years, with the current owner in place for 15 years. It serves not only Murwillumbah (~10,000 people) but also surrounding inland towns within a 20-30km radius, making it a popular choice for residents living inland and is the last major regional town before the coast.
The patient base is well-educated, loyal, and largely aged 35+, with many in their 50s and 60s. Families and children also form part of the mix.
Thanks to strong marketing and reputation, new patient numbers have more than doubled in recent months – the majority of which is seen by the Associate, ensuring a steady and rewarding volume and caseload.
