ADC Registration Help

Hi,

I recently settled down in Sydney with my husband. I am a Malaysian Citizen, did my Bachelor Degree in Dental Surgery in India. I am now looking to take ADC Registration Exams. First step is to get my degree assessed, but I am having some complications here. I DON'T HAVE REGISTRATION WITH ANY DENTAL BOARD. I could not register in India as I was told a foreigner cannot register in India. So I thought I will register in Malaysia, but Malaysian Dental Council would not allow that as I have moved to Australia. They actually expect me to work with them for nearly 2 years if I register with them, which I really cannot. But for ADC Degree Assessment, they expect me to hold a valid registration with some other Dental Board.

So please I request you to guide me with my situation.

Thanks very much

Latha

What did the ADC organisation say when you explained the situation to them? From the sounds of it, you're going to have to get something from India. Even if you can't be registered there, you should be able to get a certificate if you completed your undergraduate course there.
