Visiting Dental Therapist & Dental Hygienist 


​​Flexible Support for Dental Clinics on the Northern Beaches & North Shore of Sydney
We provide visiting Dental Therapist and Dental Hygienist services to dental clinics across Sydney's Northern Beaches and North Shore. As an independent contractor, supporting practices that need reliable oral health care without the complexity of employment. This service is designed for clinics seeking flexibility, cost certainty, and high-quality experienced patient care — whether for regular support, short-term cover, or periods of growth.

Who This Service Is For
The contractor model works well for practices that:
  • Experience growing hygiene and/or therapy demands
  • Prefer flexible, session-based support over permanent employees 
  • Looking for services delivered by a clinically independent highly experienced clinician 

Why clinics prefer the contractor model 
  • Transparent, all inclusive fees
          Services are invoiced per session or day. Rates include superannuation, insurance, CPD, and compliance with no payroll, leave, or HR on costs. 
  • Flexible & Scalable Support 
          Book services when you need them and scale up or down in line with patient demand — without long-term staffing commitments.
  • Reduced Staffing Risk
          There is no recruitment, onboarding, or termination process. I manage my own registration, insurance, superannuation, and professional compliance obligations.
  • Clinic-Ready Professional
          Fully registered and experienced, I integrate smoothly into your existing team, systems, and workflows.

Clinical Services
Provided within scope as a Dental Therapist and Dental Hygienist, including:
  • Dental therapy - preventive & treatment for 0-17years 
  • Dental hygiene - preventive treatments & periodontal maintenance for all ages 
  • Oral health education and prevention
  • Support for young, nervous, anxious children, and patients with additional needs 
  • Calm, patient-centered appointments focused on long-term oral health outcomes
  • Extensive experience supporting children with additional needs, including Autism Spectrum, sensory sensitivities and complex behavioural presentations. 

Service Options
We offer flexible service options to suit your clinics needs:
  • Half-Day Sessions (4 hours) – ideal for overflow or short clinics
  • Full-Day Clinics (8 hours) – regular hygiene or therapy support
  • Ongoing Weekly or Fortnightly Support – continuity without employment
  • Short-Term Cover – month or two
  • Evening & weekend availability  
All services are delivered under an independent contractor model with transparent, all-inclusive pricing.

Cost Perspective for Clinics
While contractor rates differ from hourly wages, many clinics find this model cost-comparable to employment once superannuation, leave entitlements, workers compensation, payroll administration, and productivity gaps are considered — with the added benefit of flexibility and reduced staffing risk.

How does it work? 
  1. Connect with me and share your clinics needs
  2. Agree on session type and schedule 
  3. I arrive ready to see patients  
  4. Invoice per session issued, no payroll or on costs
  5. Repeat or adjust as your clinic requires
