ADC prioritises Australian-based dentists

The ADC prioritises candidates residing in Australia over overseas-based candidates by allowing them to pass more easily and giving them priority on waiting lists.

This is not true. The ADC runs the same examination for everyone and treats everyone the same. There is no reference to where a candidate resides when marking examinations. Nor is there any preference given to local candidates when allowing opportunity to sit the examination. Waiting list places generally come up with very short notice and it is harder for overseas-based candidates to come to Australia for these opportunities. But being based outside of Australia is not a factor in any of this.
