New Graduates

Upon graduation, you will need to apply to become a Graduate NZDA and Dental Protection member.

A discounted NZDA membership subscription rate (50%) is available for graduates in their first and second year of practice (25%). As a graduate member you will receive the same member benefits as a full member.

Becoming a Graduate NZDA member will also mean you can access the discounted Graduate Dental Protection membership rate.

Remember, your Student NZDA and Dental Protection membership will cease on March 31st in the year immediately following your graduation.

NZDA will send all new graduates an email reminder in February to reapply. This will allow us to obtain your up-to-date contact details at that time.
