Research

At the ADC research supports our vision to be a leader in accreditation and assessment, nationally and internationally.

It drives improvement, informs decision making, and facilitates engagement. By establishing an evidence base, research helps anticipate future needs and bridge gaps by addressing important issues. It improves the role we play as an accreditation authority and assesses our effectiveness under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS).

Research helps inform the core sections of our business, the accreditation of programs leading to registration as a dental practitioner in Australia and the assessment of overseas trained dental professionals. Findings from our research contribute to work across the ADC, including the development and review of our policies, standards, and processes.
