AHPRA registration with the Dental Board of Australia is the national base. In Queensland that sits alongside a Working with Children (Blue Card) from the Blue Card Services (paid $104.70, valid 3 years) when your role involves children.

Sessional is source-agnostic. Agency bookings, direct-to-workplace engagements, hospital bank pools, and percentage-of-billings arrangements across Sunshine Coast live in one ledger. The PSI diagnostic runs across all sources combined, so the 80 per cent rule exposure is visible across your whole portfolio rather than per agency, with GST classification and ATO cents-per-km tracking on top.

Dentists in Sunshine Coast often mix percentage-of-billings work (dental, psychology, private clinic) with NDIS-capped work. Sessional tracks gross billings, clinic or lab service fees, the current-year NDIS line cap per item, and the 50 per cent travel rule per line. GST is classified automatically per line from the item type and your registration status.
