Who we are

As one of Australia’s largest Dental Service Organisations, Primary Dental supports affordable family dental care and empowers independent dental practitioners with everything they need to provide quality dentistry to their patients without getting tied down in practice administration.

Part of the ForHealth Group, we are part of a large network of healthcare services. We work alongside these services to provide holistic and collaborative solutions to your family’s health care needs. We truly believe that integrated care fosters innovation and learning, and most importantly, delivers better health outcomes for patients.

Practitioners are supported to run their own practice under the Primary Dental brand and have access to infrastructure and services such as marketing, receptionists, dental nurses and other administrative services so they can spend their time caring for their patients and enjoying a quality work life balance.

Our Values: 10 things that make us tick.

Excellence

Good Dentistry is good business
When Primary Dental practitioners put clinical excellence, autonomy and lifetime care first, we know that everything else will follow.

Family

We treat patients like family
Every patient could be our mum, dad, partner, sibling or child and we want the patient experience to reflect this; and we will continually strive to improve it.

Collaboration

Teaming For Health
Quality and continuity of care can only be delivered through effective collaboration between independent practitioners and an aligned support team.

People are our lifeblood

Community

We love local
Our local communities are also central to our business. We know that all practices are unique and the best results come when we focus on the needs of the local
community.

In it to together

Internally we are also one family. There is no “us vs them”. Independent practitioners, medical centre colleagues and the support team are all “us”.

Every step counts in a race

We will become a high-performance culture, move with agility, reward courage and invest from the outset (both in our people and our business).

It is personal

When we take things personally we take true ownership and act like founders.
