I have consulted with the Dental Council on this matter. The Council have advised that the person in question has not yet made direct contact with the Dental Council. While the Dental Council does offer periods of adaption to applicants that don’t currently meet the necessary professional language competency standards, it is necessary for practical and for safety reasons to have sufficient English language ability to effectively engage with the registration process.
The Council also advises that an update on this matter has been provided directly to the Deputy.
