We're passionate about high-quality care, continual learning, and creating a positive experience for both patients and staff.

• Flexibility: The role is 70% hygiene and 30% therapy, with scope to increase therapy for those interested in orthodontics (no prior experience required). Prefer hygiene only? That works too.

• Competitive Pay: $60–75 per hour (depending on experience).
• Location: Live the lifestyle in Mareeba – renowned for its coffee, wine, markets, and sunshine – just 45 minutes from Cairns' airport and attractions.
• Cutting-Edge Tools: Work with Piezo and Cavitron ultrasonics, Airflow, The Wand, Laser, and more.
• Relocation Made Easy: A modern 3-bedroom home is available to rent nearby.
• Uniforms Provided: Professionally laundered by the practice.
• Positive Culture: Join an all-female team that values excellence, respect, and growth. We work hard, support each other, and enjoy socialising outside of work.

• Deliver hygiene and therapy treatments, including preventive care, restorative work, and periodontal management.
• Provide comprehensive exams, radiographs, charting, and oral health education.
• Support orthodontic care (attachments, indirect bonding) within scope.

Our team lives by four core values: Excellence, Growth, Respect & Kindness, and Accountability.

We're looking for someone who:

• Loves helping patients improve their oral health.
