46 AustrAlAsiAn Dentist Dental PraCtiCe oPPortUnitieS t he term Work life Balance dates back to the 1930’s and has been a hot topic ever since. today, getting the balance right between a meaningful career, income and all-important leisure time seems as elusive as ever for many of us. Working hard has been sold to us as stoic, yet we know that not enough leisure time not only leads to unhappiness, but particularly in dentistry can be very detrimental on the body. What is very often missed when considering work/life balance is the environment you place yourself in has the biggest impact to getting the balance right. let’s say you like long walks on a beach – if you live and work five minutes from your favourite beach, you are far more likely to access your favourite activity each day, before or after work or even on a lunchtime than if the beach is a one-hour commute through slow moving traffic. the other thing that is very often overlooked is the true value of your income which varies wildly depending on where you live, even though your earning capacity does not. Moving to a coastal location outside a city, for example, means you could consider working three or four days a week and yet have a higher disposable income, instant access to the activities you love, more time with those you care about and truly have your chosen work/life balance in order. if i have you thinking about escaping to a better lifestyle, i have a couple of exceptional opportunities for you to consider: Sunshine Coast Walk into over $1m of personal production based on general and restorative dentistry. nestled at the foot of the Glass House Mountains and only 15 minutes from the Beach and 70 kms from the City of Brisbane, Beerwah Dental provides and exceptional opportunity to treat a truly community-based clientele. Due to secession planning, the principal dentist role will become available early in 2022, although a full-time role for the right dentist is available immediately. the senior dentist is currently working four days a week and does not place dental implants or provide any form of orthodontic solutions, so the practice can be easily expanded further by anyone with advanced skills. You will have a dental hygienist to work with, allowing you to concentrate on the aspects of dentistry you enjoy, plus you will have a great support team. Applications will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
