About
Australian Dental
Technicians Association
The Australian Dental Technicians Association (ADTA) is a not for profit organisation officially incorporated in July 2021. Our structure has a national executive and includes state delegates that broadly represent the needs of our members and the laboratories they operate.
The ADTA is focused on advancing dental technology and ensuring a prosperous future is secured for dental technicians.
The association seeks to fill the vital gap left due to de-registration of the industry over the last 15 years.
We are seeking professional and enthusiastic people to join our team by representing each State. If this interests you, please contact us.
By joining the ADTA you will have added your voice to the Dental Technician profession across Australia.
