Wages will be based off experience, and would be in accordance to the health professionals and support services award (MA000027). Eventually you will be given wages above award, how quickly you get there depends on your work ethics and performance.

Normal hours would be 8am-5.30pm especially initially. However eventually as you gain experience, your hours may shift depending on the dentists day - eg some days you might be staying a little later, others you might be able to leave a bit early or have a half day etc.
