How to get here
There’s two key components to your relocation to New Zealand:
- Registration to practice in your Dental Scope with the New Zealand Dental Council (DCNZ)
- Your eligibility to work in New Zealand.
Registration to practice in New Zealand.
If you have trained outside of New Zealand, to be able to practise as a dental professional here you are required to register with the New Zealand Dental Council.

Lumino doesn't have any direct input into your registration process and doesn't act as an advisory body in your registration process, but we're able to give you general practical advice about practising in New Zealand.
We encourage all Immigrating Clinicians to undertake this conversation with the Dental Council as soon as possible, as it will dictate your process and relocation timeframes.
Obtaining a visa – your eligibility to work in New Zealand.
While New Zealander’s enjoy a comparatively good quality of life during the global pandemic including freedom of national movement – our international borders remain restricted.
If you're considering a relocation, you will need to have current and accurate advice, and this information either needs to come from Immigration New Zealand or your licenced immigration specialist. In New Zealand, it’s illegal for anyone unlicenced to provide advice
