ADC International (ADCI) is a leading independent authority in accreditation and assessment of health programs worldwide, with a particular focus on oral health.
We are the Australian Dental Council – an independent, purpose-driven not-for-profit that protects the public by ensuring safe and competent dental care across Australia. We assess and accredit dental practitioners and programs to uphold the highest standards in oral health.
As a not-for-profit health authority, we work to ensure all health professionals are competent to practise safely, protecting the health of our communities. No matter what area of our organisation you choose, your work here has a real impact.
